Not sure if this will be useful, but I'll throw it out there for prosperity...

After updating to VMware Server 1.0.6, I was getting the following why trying to start vmware:

david@david-ubuntu:/usr/local/lib$ vmware
/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_3.4' not found (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2)
/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware: /usr/lib/vmware/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/bin/vmware: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_3.4' not found (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2)
/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware: /usr/lib/vmware/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/bin/vmware: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_3.4' not found (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2)

I didn't find an exact match on the net, but similar hits recommended moving the offending library out of the way:

david@david-ubuntu:~$ cd /usr/lib/vmware/lib
david@david-ubuntu:/usr/lib/vmware/lib$ sudo mkdir bak
david@david-ubuntu:/usr/lib/vmware/lib$ sudo mv libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1 bak/

... and now I'm back :)

I am working on an open source project. I provided more information here.

I have been working on creating a tool that I have wanted for a while. No real details yet, search SourceForge if you like. I'm not really looking for testers or feedback and while it has features that are already useful, it doesn't have any clean interface for using it. (I'm planning on command line and ANT)

While it is packaged under the com.javaranch domain and I hope to include downloads from this site or possibly redirect to SourceForge, I chose SF for the additional 'advertising', traffic and search index. ie hopefully increase the visibility.

Watch this space if you like.
