vmware

i've installed vmware following the guide at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Vmware
now when i try to start it:

[mikhail@mikhail-desktop ~]$ vmware

  D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace

this is the contents of the log file:

[mikhail@mikhail-desktop ~]$ cat /tmp/vmware-mikhail/setup-9982.log

i'm not sure what the bit about D-Bus is and i'm even less sure about what the problem in general is. if anyone could help me i'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

Re: vmware

hal is running and i thought dbus wasn't a daemon, just running whenever it needs to... in any case i have dbus installed. and hal IS running.

Re: vmware

Slightly off-topic, but do you have to use vmware? It's always a pain to install and maintain on Arch. Virtualbox is so much easier - maybe it would work for you?

Also, dbus is a daemon, and should be running.

Re: vmware

i would use virtualbox in any other case, but i need directx support, which virtualbox does not offer.

Re: vmware

i dunno what to say, it's never worked for me before... i suppose i'll give it another go. even though it seems a little cheap to take a different approach when i run into a problem tongue

EDIT: the method described on the arch wiki for virtualbox seems really hackish, which would be fine except that it isn't working.
