I should probably ask this at vmware forums, but I cant seem to get through today.

i have installed opensuse 11.2 on my macbook using vmware fusion 3.0. I have installed VMware tools. after restarting the VM, i cant see my mac shared folder under /mnt/hgfs. the directory hgfs cannot be found.

I looked around and ran the /usr/bin/vmware-hgfsclient executable. I dont know if it was required, but it returned with an error:
How do I fix the above error? Is this what is the primary cause of not seeing the hgfs folder?

Thanks,

Check and see what version of libproc is on your system. (Obviously not version 3.2.7) If it's a different version, say 3.2.8, you can try something like: ln -s libproc-3.2.8.so libproc-3.2.7.so to fool vmware. Apparently that's what you have to do with ubuntu karmic koala according to bugzilla, so perhaps this is the same issue, or similar. Hope that helps.

well, i ultimately gave up vmware and switched over to sun virtualbox...installed ubuntu on it for now and it works like a charm.

Thanks for your reply anyway.

easy to fix, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...ls/+bug/409033 just run like mostlyharmless said, seems ubuntu updated libproc and the old binary vmware tools package looks for the old version.
