No, I'm not sure the patch is needed, I was following this:
http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/howdoi/?p=152&tag=nl.e101
and have installed build-essentials and xinetd. Most googling suggests
the any-any patch is the answer to all problems.
Last time I installed vmware-server on feisty it was via Automatix,
however this currently won't run (starts to load the gui then crashes)
and this is next on the list to resolve.

I've just installed vmware-server 1.04 on gutsy 32 bit. The patch was
NOT required.
All it required was build-essential and xinetd.
I understand that 64 bit host used to be difficult, but latest reports
seem to indicate it all works as for 32 bit.

At this point via Adept I checked for gcc and installed v4.2. Then the
following:

VMware modules in "/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source" has been updated.
Before running VMware for the first time after update, you need to
configure it
for your running kernel by invoking the following command:
"/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl". Do you want this script to invoke the
command for
you now? [yes]
The correct version of one or more libraries needed to run VMware Server
may be
missing. This is the output of ldd /usr/bin/vmware:
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
libm.so.6 => /lib32/libm.so.6 (0xf7f84000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib32/libdl.so.2 (0xf7f80000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib32/libpthread.so.0 (0xf7f67000)
libX11.so.6 => not found

libc.so.6 => /lib32/libc.so.6 (0xf7e1c000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf7fbc000)
This program cannot tell for sure, but you may need to upgrade libc5 to
glibc
before you can run VMware Server.
Actually, (the first to of) these files are present:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/vmware-server-distrib# locate libX11.so.6
/usr/lib/libX11.so.6.2.0
/usr/lib/libX11.so.6
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/vmware-server-distrib# locate libXtst.so.6
/usr/lib/libXtst.so.6.1.0
/usr/lib/libXtst.so.6
Anyone able to help me from this point?
Cheers,
Roger
