VMware Server 1.0.4 on Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy)

I'm trying to install VMware Server 1.0.4 on a Dell PowerEdge 1950 running Ubuntu 7.10, the 32-bit version.

 

 

So I've downloaded the software, and I've grabbed the any-any-1.14 patch (just in case).  No matter whether I use the straight "vmware-install.pl" script alone, or combine it with the "runme.pl" script from the patch, I get these errors during the configuration portion of the installation:

 

+     The correct version of one or more libraries needed to run VMware Server may be+
+     missing.  This is the output of ldd /usr/bin/vmware:+
+     linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)+
+     libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libm.so.6 (0xb7edd000)+
+     libdl.so.2 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libdl.so.2 (0xb7ed9000)+
+     libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libpthread.so.0 (0xb7ec0000)+
+     libX11.so.6 => /usr/lib/libX11.so.6 (0xb7dcf000)+
+     libXtst.so.6 => not found+
+     libXext.so.6 => not found+
+     libXt.so.6 => not found+
+     libICE.so.6 => not found+
+     libSM.so.6 => not found+
+     libXrender.so.1 => not found+
+     libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0xb7db9000)+
+     libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0xb7c6f000)+
+     /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7f08000)+
+     libXau.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXau.so.6 (0xb7c6b000)+
+     libXdmcp.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXdmcp.so.6 (0xb7c66000)+

+     This program cannot tell for sure, but you may need to upgrade libc5 to glibc+
+     before you can run VMware Server.+

 

I've Googled, poured over the Ubuntu forums, asked on the Ubuntu-server IRC channel, and searched here - nothing that I've tried has helped.

 

 

Because of these failures (I think), the installer won't accept the serial number and I can not finish the installation:

 

+     /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-vmx: error while loading shared libraries: libXtst.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory+
+     The serial number 90W0E-YHQA0-23642-4C6A0 is invalid.+

+     Please enter your 20-character serial number.+
+     Type XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX or 'Enter' to cancel:+

 

 

 

 

I'm truly at a loss.  I'm now thinking I should install the 64-bit version of Gutsy, just to try.  But I hate the thought of flushing 16 hours of server installation and configuration down the drain.

 

 

 

 

 

Hoping someone can help me....
