Problem glibc VMware Server 2 on CentOS 5.4

Step 1: Go to /etc/yum.repos.d and copy the file CentOS-Base.repo to CentOS53-Base.repo

Step 2: In CentOS53-Base.repo, rename all the packages to reflect the 5.3 version. So, change:

[base] --> [base53]
[updates] --> [updates53]
[addons] --> [addons53]
[extras] --> [extras53]
[centosplus] --> [centosplus53]
[contrib] --> [contrib53]

Step 3: In CentOS53-Base.repo, replace all instances of release=$releasever with release=5.3

Step 4: Now, downgrade the glibc and glibc-common libraries by running the following commands:

yum downgrade glibc glibc-common

Step 5: To avoid any problems with future upgrades/updates, it would be best to exclude them from the list of available updates on yum. Add the following to your /etc/yum.conf file:

exclude=glibc glibc-common glibc-devel glibc-headers glibc-utils nscd

Step 6: Reboot the server, and now re-run /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl to reconfigure with downgraded glibc libraries.

/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl

Step 7: (Optional) Run the following command to make sure future upgrades/updates will not download the updated glibc* libraries.

yum list glibc*

Now, if you have other applications installed on CentOS, and you don’t want to worry about any issues with future use of glibc on your server, please follow the next method to manually link VMware hostd process to use the older glibc libraries.
SOLUTION METHOD 2:

(Make sure you are logged in as root for these steps)

Step 1: Install the latest 2.0.2 VMware Server package and run the configuration. It will crash, but just ignore this for now.

Step 2: Run the following command, and make note of the response.

arch

Step 3: Run the following commands, and replace any instance of {ARCH} with the result of Step 2:

mkdir ~/vmwareglibc
cd ~/vmwareglibc
wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.3/os/{ARCH}/CentOS/glibc-2.5-34.{ARCH}.rpm
rpm2cpio glibc-2.5-34.{ARCH}.rpm | cpio -ivd
mkdir /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libc.so.6
mv lib64/libc-2.5.so /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libc.so.6/libc.so.6

Step 4: Open the VMware hostd process script for editing.

vim /usr/sbin/vmware-hostd

Step 5: At line 372, before the program is called, insert two empty lines and add the following:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libc.so.6:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Before Example:

if [ ! "@@VMWARE_NO_MALLOC_CHECK@@" = 1 ]; then
export MALLOC_CHECK_=2
fi

eval exec "$DEBUG_CMD" "$binary" "$@"

After Example:

if [ ! "@@VMWARE_NO_MALLOC_CHECK@@" = 1 ]; then
export MALLOC_CHECK_=2
fi

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libc.so.6:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

eval exec "$DEBUG_CMD" "$binary" "$@"

NOTE: In Step 3, the wget command may in the future be this as 5.3 repositories are taken off of the main CentOS Mirrors:

wget http://vault.centos.org/5.3/os/{ARCH}/CentOS/glibc-2.5-34.{ARCH}.rpm

Either method you use should get you the desired end result: VMware Server 2 running on CentOS 5.4

دوست عزیز شما باید دسترسی این فایل را از 555 به دسترسی قابل نوشتن تغییر بدید(در حالت عادی 555 است)که بهتر است به 755 تغییر کند
