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) /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)
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 :)

Re: Fix "version `GCC_4.2.0' not found" for VMware 1.0.6 SErver and Ubuntu
Thanks, this solved the problem for me on the same distro.

Good stuff brother - would never have figured that out!

Found it also on Opensuse. The fix is the same there as well.
Comment from J-Dawg on 19 June 2008 3:40:22
Yes, fixed problem for me too. Symptom I saw (on Hardy Heron) was after a new install nothing would appear when I'd launch the VMware Server Console from the icon on the Ubuntu desktop. Once I tried launching from the Linux console, I got the 'GCC_3.4' error cited above.
Many thanks!

it is a useful howto but note that you still need some of the stuff in the Management User Interface Section which I realized after reading this, so thanks!
----------------------------------------
ps you will need these also if not installing MUI:
sudo sed -i -e 's/usr\/lib/usr\/l32/g' /usr/lib32/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loader-files.d/libgtk2.0-0.loaders
sudo sed -i -e 's/usr\/lib/usr\/l32/g' /usr/lib32/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0.1200.9
cd /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0
sudo mvo libpng12.so.0 libpng12.so.0.bak
sudo ln -sf /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0

Thanks so much for this worked great!
Comment from Eric on 20 September 2008 12:24:19
Just updated my Hardy box and among the updates was kernel 2.6.24-21-generic. Doing so broke compiz but Envy and a reboot solved that.
It also broke VMWare Server 1.0.6. I figured since it's broken I might as well update to 1.0.7 and Hardy. Everything installed/compiled without issue but VMWare failed to launch. I had the same error as everyone else. Moving the library solved it for me as well. Thank you sir! :-)
Comment from Robor007 on 15 October 2008 21:21:18
This simple fix worked for me. I'm using VMWare server 1.0.6 on Ubuntu Hardy 8.04. Much appreciated!
Comment from Anonymous on 23 October 2008 1:33:57
