I installed VMware Workstation 4.5.2 on FC2 yesterday, and it was
working fine. I got up today and went to start vmware and it wouldn't
start. I tried restarting the vmware service and then starting vmware
from a terminal and this was the output:

$ sudo /sbin/service vmware restart

I searched through the archive and found this post:

http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-June/msg01928.html

which never had any replies. Unfortunately, in my case running
vmware-config.pl doesn't help. However the only thing that happened to
my system between me using VMware last night and trying to use it this
morning was the running of the cron jobs. As I can't imaging that
updatedb or logrotate could have effected VMware I can only assume it
was prelink.

Any suggestions?

Best, Darren
