Using files pointed to from BGO, I have successfully installed

However, vmware-player won't start.  Checking in
/var/tmp/vmware-relson, I found the following message:

    Could not open /opt/vmware/lib/vmware/lib/libvmware.so/libvmware.so

The message is correct, libvmware.so does not exist at the path above
(or anywhere else).

Try installing vmware-workstation and try again.
