When I copy over vmware-sysinfo-lin32.tar.gz, and run ./vmware-sysinfo-lin32.sh manually, it still just dumps core. This is the command output :
./vmware-sysinfo-lin32.sh
Warning: Unable to open /dev/sr0 read-write (Read-only file system). /dev/sr0 has been opened read-only.
Warning: Unable to open /dev/sr0 read-write (Read-only file system). /dev/sr0 has been opened read-only.
./vmware-sysinfo-lin32.sh: line 21: 1110 Segmentation fault (core dumped) LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$abslibdir" "$libdir"/$binary "$@"
And the generated logfile is really not all that helpful either :
cat vmware-sysinfo.log
