FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE i386
>Description:
The VMware Tools shipped with Workstation 6 are linked against libm.so.2. That version of libm shipped with FreeBSD 4.x and is not present by default in 6.x. As-is, the port installs without error, but vmware-toolbox cannot execute because of the missing library.
To fix this, one may install misc/compat4x.
>How-To-Repeat:
On a machine w/o compat4x and vmware-tools6:
cd /usr/ports/emulators/vmware-tools6 && make install
vmware-toolbox
>Fix:
Add the following to the emulators/vmware-tools6 Makefile:
LIB_DEPENDS= m.2:${PORTSDIR}/misc/compat4x
