You probably have the interpreter binary installed but not the shared library. The way to fix that depends on your distro (or if you compiled Python from scratch). See the Python section here: http://m5sim.org/wiki/index.php/Compiling_M5#Required_Software 2) Has anyone installed M5 on a VM? My laptop can't install linux (hpdv6000s > have problems w/ linux) and I was thinking to just do it through ubuntu run > on VMware player. Has anyone done something similar? How is performance? > Are there compatibility issues? I do this all the time. I use VMware Server (also free), but Player should work fine too. (I think Player is better if you want to use X native in the VM. I just use a Windows X server (cygwin on xp has been great, but I recently switched to vista and Xming works better there) and open windows "remotely" on the VM, in which case I don't know if it matters which one you use.) As far as performance, I think there is a small performance hit for I/O, so compiles are a little slower due to the disk I/O. The simulator itself is CPU-bound though and as far as I can tell it's just as fast under VMware as native. Any help on the two issues would be greatly appreciated. Hope that helps... let us know if you have more questions.
