VMware Server and Fedora Core 11, Part 4

At this point, I have been happily able to run existing VMs.

However, I went to create a new VM today, and my connection to local host dropped immediately.

I went to examine my log files (/var/log/vmware) and found the following core dump:

I did a bit of research and found out that I needed the 32-bit version of libgcc (I already had the 64-bit version, but that was not sufficient).

Ran the following command:

yum install libgcc.i586

And now I am able to create new VMs.
