Help getting vmware-player to work
I installed the latest vmware-player rpm. I located the executable file and this is what I get...
the thing is there is no usr/bin/vmware-config.pl. I also searched for it to make sure it wasn't in another location and nothing showed up. What should I do?Code:[avi@localhost ~]$ su [root@localhost avi]# whereis vmware vmware: /etc/vmware /usr/lib/vmware /usr/share/man/man4/vmware.4.bz2 [root@localhost avi]# cd /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-player bash: cd: /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-player: No such file or directory [root@localhost avi]# cd /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmplayer bash: cd: /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmplayer: Not a directory [root@localhost avi]# cd /usr/lib/vmware/bin [root@localhost bin]# vmplayer vmware is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured for this system. To (re-)configure it, invoke the following command: /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl. [root@localhost bin]#
in the etc/vmware folder there are 3 files. one named location, one named not_configured, and one named installer.sh. I tried SHing the installer.sh but that didn't give me any option that I think could help
Code:[avi@localhost vmware]$ su [root@localhost vmware]# sh installer.sh Usage: installer.sh {kind|version|convertdb|uninstall|uninstall_without_rpm}

The vmware-config.pl is the foremost step to setup the vmware to run on the machine. This is a mandatory step and usually it is present in /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl. If it is not present, you may opt to re-install vmware.
installer.sh gives you the type of installation.
for instance
# installer.sh kind
gives you what was the source you used to install the vmware application.
