Installing tools on Solaris 10, libvmtools.so failed not found

Hi,

Solaris 10 Update 8    

I trying to install vmware tools on solaris 10 and is possible on new system with complete installating, on minimal instalation I try this steps and failed:

First try failed

I cant finish the script vmware-install without X11

Second try failed:

Install all Xorg package and gnome packages. fail on last step looking for libvmtools.so

Third try failed:

Launched a truss of vmtoolsd and he is looking for libvmtools.so on:

/usr/local/lib/sparv9/libvmtools.so

/usr/lib/64/libvmtools.so

/lib/64/libvmtools.so

the file is under lib on the installation package so copy it to the location and a new error appear "wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32"

Fourd try failed:

This libvmtools.so is under /usr/lib/vmware-tools/lib/ if you have launched ones the script so I linked it on the system

clre -u -l /usr/lib/vmware-tools/lib/

But failed because cant find it the same like on second step failed.

So I stuck here

Any suggestion?

Any one knows which are the Solaris package requeriments to install vmware tools?
