[gentoo-dev] VMWare and GCC 3.1

[gentoo-dev] VMWare and GCC 3.1

[Prashanth Aditya Susarla]

VMWare's acting smart with gcc-3.1. Fire up vmware and this is what you 
get:-
/opt/vmware/bin/vmware: relocation error: /opt/vmware/bin/vmware: 
undefined symbol: __udivdi3

There's no known bug about vmware on bugs.gentoo.org (guess there was no 
reason to be until gcc-3.x). Looking at the error it's similar to what one 
got before the nvidia-glx workaround. So there could be some LD_PRELOADing 
to do to perhaps get vmware to work.

Hi,

There are several problems with binaries compiled with gcc 2.95, like the 
nVidia-drivers, StartOffice, OO, etc. You can solve these problems by 
patching glibc. Look here: 
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-hacker/2002-02/msg00152.html for the patch. 
More information can be found in this topic:

Bye,

Niek.

Better to try Lars Pechan's work around for now... he's done some great 
research on the subject;-)

The new patched version of glibc is unmasked, 2.2.5-r4..
 
Have fun!

And thanks for the report!
