Archlinux下VMware-workstation的安装

sunsunray

版本

Archlinux0.7.1(Kernel2.6.16-4,Gcc4.0.3)
VMware-workstation5.5.1-19175
安装方法
方法A:通过ABS编译，针对发型版为Archlinux的用户。

1, 到AUR下载vmware-workstation.tar.gz，这个文件包含了所有最新的补丁和PKGBUILD文件。

2,解压缩到/var/abs/local/vmware-workstation

3, 进入/var/abs/local/vmware-workstation执行makepkg将会生成名为vmware-workstation-5.5.1_19175-2.pkg.tar.gz的安装文件

4,执行pacman -A vmware-workstation-5.5.1_19175-2.pkg.tar.gz完成安装

5,执行/opt/vmware/bin/vmware启动。（有必要的话运行一下/opt/vmware/bin/vmware-config.pl配置一下）
方法B:通用安装方法，适合各发型版。

1, 下载官方VMware-workstation安装文件VMware-workstation-5.5.1-19175.tar.gz

2,下载最新的vmware-any-any-update

3,解压缩VMware-workstation-5.5.1-19175.tar.gz产生vmware-distrib

4,进入vmware-distrib运行 vmware-install.pl 进行安装。

5,上一步安装到一定步骤基本会报错，这时解压缩 vmware-any-any-update执行runme.pl完成安装

6,执行/usr/bin/vmware启动。（有必要的话运行一下/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl配置一下）
其他问题

如果人品好的话，按照上面的步骤做应该没问题了。但是如果像我这样RPWT比较严重，一般会启动不了。这个问题出在libgcc_s.so.1这个文件上。解决方法很简单，从/usr/lib拷贝一个覆盖你的vmware/lib/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/下的文件就OK了。

:-)，我安装过一次，感觉非常简单，不需要什么功夫。除了特别要说明一点：请关注另外一个update的包（忘了名字了，因为机器太慢，无法忍受龟爬，好久，也就记不得了），到AUT搜索一下就知道了。

强烈推荐... vmware gsx server
比workstation性能高很多..... 后端服务不依赖X 可远程操作

现下正在gsx上面弄群集... 嘿嘿...

是啊，应该是比较简单，但是后面的那个问题折腾了我很长时间。所以给万一碰到RPWT的兄弟提个醒，呵呵。

请问一下安装GSX对机器的要求高吗？

不高... 我机器P3 1.13 ram512 最多可以跑３台win2003服务器
不开x服务节省内存 通过vmware-client 远程操作 支持web管理

不过我是用的2快硬盘做的soft Raid level0

能不能写个gsx server的PKGBUILD？aur上只有workstation的。

直接到aur上下载PKGBUILD及相关文件，编译安装成功。
用vmware安装XP成功，但每次启动XP时都要显示：
1、
Failed to open sound device /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy
Virtual device sound will start disconnected.”
2、
Could not open /dev/vmnet0: No such file or directory
Virtual device Ethernet0 will start disconnected.
用lsmod命令检查内存中有vmmon和vmnet模块。
用dmesg命令检查发现如下信息：(哪位高手帮帮忙！)

vmware 这个东西用pkgbuild反而更麻烦...

gsx server 直接下载tar.gz的包 安装...
然后 打上any-any-updata 就行了  需要xinetd
web管理需要httpd.

不过我的内核是2.6.15.4 自己编译的 没有用官方内核 这应该没有什么影响

firefoxmmx

我的一个朋友，就是这么安装的然后出了点问题
启动不了，而且没有没有错误信息～
