Hello,
I just finished installing CentOS 64bit on a server and while trying to setup VMware-Server the following error occured (during the execution of vmware-config.pl)
Code: Select all
Generating SSL Server Certificate
Unable to get the last modification timestamp of the destination file
/etc/vmware/ssl/rui.key.
Execution aborted.
any ideas? I did Google the error but couldnt find a solution for centos
Thank you

thats a weird one all right, are you running selinux? Is the file system mounted with the "noatime" flag?

no, and no
i found something on Debian mentioning the need for 32bit libraries but... I do have both installed from what i can see (exept gcc)
Note: the installation was done using the 4.4 ServerCD

ok...
Installed the proper gcc cpp and other 64bit libs that were missing or installed 32bit..
Installed the following that vmware was asking for (even though they were installed as 64bit already):
expat.i386 0:1.95.7-4
fontconfig.i386 0:2.2.3-7.centos4
freetype.i386 0:2.1.9-6.el4
xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL.i386 0:6.8.2-1.EL.31
xorg-x11-libs.i386 0:6.8.2-1.EL.31
zlib.i386 0:1.2.1.2-1.2
following a vmware discussion forum I installed:
audit-libs
compat-db
cracklib
cracklib-dicts
db4
gcc4
glib2
libgcc
libstdc++
VMware compilation and configuration proceeded without errors.
All good now
Thank you
