Btw, this is on OpenBSD 4.4 i386 and VMware Server 2.0

This works no longer with VMWare Server 2.0. With 1.0.8 you were fine with that method.

Any specific reason why? Did they change the FreeBSD binary too much or...?

I think that the vmware tools were statically linked in the previous versions, now they are dynamically linked and I was missing most of the libs. But I will check that tomorrow when I'm back at work.

So here is the information, it is indeed dynamically linked in the server 2.0 version:

vmware tools server 2.0:

Hello Markus,

the question is: do you use the vmware-tools from server 2.0 and if you do so, how did you manage it?

guido


vmware tools server 1.0.8;

$ ls -la /emul/freebsd/sbin/
total 584
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel     512 Sep  2  2008 .
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel     512 Dec 17  2007 ..
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  270236 Sep  2  2008 vmware-guestd

$ file vmware-guestd
vmware-guestd: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1, statically
linked, stripped

Kind regards,
  Markus
