Install VMWare on Linux 64 bit problem dependencies

December 11, 2007 – 19:08 by Hannes Van de Vel

Installing VMWare on a 64 bit Linux seems to be a little bit tricky (CentOS 5 64 bit in my case).

You get some error messages about missing dependencies, but it seems like you can ignore it, until it asks for your serial.

error while loading shared libraries: libXtst.so.6: cannot open shared object file

Simply fix it by installing libXtst-devel and libXrender-devel.

yum install libXtst-devel libXrender-devel

One Response to “Install VMWare on Linux 64 bit problem dependencies”
Another error states that “could not retrieve mirror list:http….” . How can I fix it ?
