Hi,

Just to make a clarification due to this thread
(http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2007-10/msg00882.html) and this
one (http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2007-10/msg00873.html).
Subject is about "Installing VMWare WS ver 5.5.1  into OpenSUSE 10.3".
Installation process finished without problem but launched
"/usr/bin/vmware" produced an error :

vmware: xcb_xlib.c:52: xcb_xlib_unlock: Assertion `c->xlib.lock' failed.

Note : VMWare WS ver 5.5.1 worked very well under OpenSUSE 10.2.

Run the following command : "export LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=true" as
mentioned in OpenSUSE WIKI (http://en.opensuse.org/Xlib.lock) didn't
successfull.

For those who have same problem, solution should be an easy way :

1. Upgrade your VMWare into ver 5.5.5. VMWare 5.5.1 serial valid for 5.5.5
2. Download vmware-any-any-update from
http://knihovny.cvut.cz/ftp/pub/vmware/. I take
vmware-any-any-update114.tar.gz
3. Installing your VMWare ver 5.5.5
4. Run your vmware-any-any-update (extract and invoke ./runme.pl)

I've wrote a complete steps in my blog,

Sorry for this link. I'm not a splogger ;-).

Rui Santos has notified this solution in these thread before but
another replies said that it can't be applied to OpenSUSE 10.3.
