Good morning,

have you read man compat_freebsd and tried the suggestions (i.e.
download libc.so.1 from somewhere and also ldd and some other files)

I was not aware of that man page... I've been trying to set things up using it as a guide, but I'm unsuccesfull at the moment. The man page mentions FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE, yet the port freebsd_lib seems to be compiled for FreeBSD 4.1.1.

Any idea on what FreeBSD version is supported by OpenBSD?

Some more information:
- VMware Server 2.0
- OpenBSD 4.4

I've gotten the FreeBSD emulation working now:
# ldd-freebsd /emul/freebsd/usr/bin/ldd
/emul/freebsd/usr/bin/ldd:
        libc.so.4 => /usr/lib/libc.so.4 (0x4fa23000)

However, while running it on vmware-guestd I still receive an error:

# ldd-freebsd /emul/freebsd/sbin/vmware-guestd
/emul/freebsd/sbin/vmware-guestd:
/emul/freebsd/sbin/vmware-guestd: signal 6

Any idea on how I can proceed from there?

Hi list,

I'm trying to get the FreeBSD version of the VMware Tools installed in
OpenBSD 4.4 under VMware Server 2.0 following the guide posted at
http://www.openbsd-wiki.org/index.php?title=HowTo_install_VMWare_tools.

I've had to install the freebsd_lib-4.11p0.tgz package and had to add
some additional symbolic links to /emul/freebsd/usr/lib.  However,
vmware-guestd segfaults upon trying to start it:

# ktrace /emul/freebsd/sbin/vmware-guestd --background
/var/run/vmware-guestd.pid --halt-command "/sbin/shutdown -p -h now"
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
# ktrace -C
# kdump
  6020 ktrace   RET   ktrace 0
  6020 ktrace   CALL  execve(0xcfbdabb3,0xcfbdaa60,0xcfbdaa78)

  6020 vmware-guestd PSIG  SIGSEGV SIG_DFL code 1 addr=0x85fa8 trapno=1
  6020 vmware-guestd NAMI  "vmware-guestd.core"

I'm not sure how to proceed from here.  Can anyone help me further?

Thanks in advance!
