Inutile dire che già molti hanno fatto il salto verso la versione 8.04 di Ubuntu, quindi verrà utile questo piccolo tips per gli utilizzatori di VMWare ed in particolare degli utilizzatori di VMWare Server attraverso la Console. Chi ha provato ad installare la Console ha con tutta probabilità incontrato problemi di librerie non trovate al momento del lancio dell'applicazione:
$ vmware-server-console
/usr/lib/vmware-server-console/bin/vmware-server-console:
/usr/lib/vmware-server-console/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0:
no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2)
/usr/lib/vmware-server-console/bin/vmware-server-console:
/usr/lib/vmware-server-console/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1:
version `GCC_4.2.0' not found (required by /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6)
/usr/lib/vmware-server-console/bin/vmware-server-console:
/usr/lib/vmware-server-console/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0:

/usr/lib/vmware-server-console/bin/vmware-server-console:

version `GCC_4.2.0' not found (required by /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6)
/usr/lib/vmware-server-console/bin/vmware-server-console:

Si può risolvere facilmente con i seguenti comandi:
$ sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0
/usr/lib/vmware-server-console/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0
$ sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
/usr/lib/vmware-server-console/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1
