    VMware Installation Dependency error

    Hi,
    I am trying to install VMware 2.5 and when I run the rpm i receive the error:
    error: Failed Dependencies:
    /bin/sh is needed by VMware-Player-2.5.3-185404.i386

    How can make this dependency? I have already tried linking it and I even tried using the rpm in the /bin directory, where /bin/sh is located. Any thoughts on what I can do? Thanks.

    /bin/sh would be shell. I don't see how that isn't installed. Sometimes rpms are goofy like that, in which case you can install it with --nodeps

    Code:
    rpm -ivv --nodeps package.rpm
