Message-ID: <20000521182756.A10530@onsea.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 1.0.1i Organisation: Onsea Software Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Greetings. I was just getting used to playing around with vmware1, after finally getting around to using it, and I discovered vmware2. I deinstalled vmware1 and immediately upgraded, and failed miserably. When starting vmware2, I get the following: ----------- Error: Cannot open vmware executable file. Possibly an installation error? Cannot create splash screen ----------- And when trying to run a vm: Could not open /usr/local/lib/vmware/lib/vmm I guessed vmware2 may be broken under 4.0-STABLE as it stands, so I deinstalled that and reinstalled vmware1. Exactly the same thing happens. I've deinstalled and reinstalled a few times, and I've cleaned up everything I've found relating to vmware, and still it doesnt work. Any ideas? I've searched the archives, and noone seems to answer these questions. Thanks in advance.
