As the following instruction we can start VMware workstation 12/12.1 On the Fedora 23.
Login as root first.
$ sudo su - Force rebuild of VMWare modules: # vmware-modconfig --console --install-all Replace the vmware glib version with the fedora version: # cd /usr/lib/vmware/lib
# for mylib in $(ls /usr/lib64/*4600*); do /bin/cp -afv $mylib $(basename $mylib.4600.1 )/$(basename $mylib .4600.1 ); done
This basically does the following:
# pwd /usr/lib/vmware/lib # /bin/cp -afv /usr/lib64/libgio-2.0.so.0.4600.1 libgio-2.0.so.0/libgio-2.0.so.0 # /bin/cp -afv /usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0.4600.1 libglib-2.0.so.0/libglib-2.0.so.0 # /bin/cp -afv /usr/lib64/libgmodule-2.0.so.0.4600.1 libgmodule-2.0.so.0/libgmodule-2.0.so.0 # /bin/cp -afv /usr/lib64/libgobject-2.0.so.0.4600.1 libgobject-2.0.so.0/libgobject-2.0.so.0 # /bin/cp -afv /usr/lib64/libgthread-2.0.so.0.4600.1 libgthread-2.0.so.0/libgthread-2.0.so.0 Start VMware or VMplayer: $ VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_LIBS=force vmware or: $ VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_LIBS=force vmplayer For ease of use/convenience, you might also want to do this: # cd /usr/bin/ # mv -iv vmplayer vmplayer.bin # mv -iv vmware vmware.bin Then create two scripts replacing the previous scripts/tools: $ cat /usr/bin/vmplayer #!/bin/bash export VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_LIBS=force /usr/bin/vmplayer.bin $* $ cat /usr/bin/vmware #!/bin/bash export VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_LIBS=force /usr/bin/vmware.bin $*
