I've installed VMPlayer 3.0.1 on a Fedora 12 64-bit system. When starting /usr/bin/vmplayer, as soon as I see the initial window pop up, it disappears and vmplayer ends with a core dump.
Here is what I see in the shell when vmplayer starts:
$ vmplayer

<after this is displayed, I see the main vmplayer window for about half a second, then it disappears and vmplayer ends>
I'm also attaching a zip containing the contents of my "/.tmp/vmware-<username>" directory as well. In that directory, the "player-<pid>.log" file contains a traceback associated with the core dump, etc.
Note that the vmplayer install completed without any errors, and when I start vmplayer it doesn't ask me for any "missing" packages (gcc, kernel-headers, etc.) so it must have found them in the proper locations.
Here is the list of kernel packages installed on my system, in case that helps:
$ rpm -qa | grep -i kernel
kernel-devel-2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.x86_64
kernel-2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.x86_64
kernel-firmware-2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.noarch
kernel-headers-2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.x86_64
Does anyone have any clue as to what is going wrong? There are a few messages in the "player-<pid>.log" file that appear to be errors, but I'm not sure if those are significant or not. Any help in getting vmplayer to work would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Phil
