For some library-related-reason (lrr) I was not able to start the vmware-server-console on my kubuntu machine. The error messages I was getting were:
/usr/lib/vmware-server-console/bin/vmware-server-console: /usr/lib/vmware-server-console/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_3.4' not found (required by /usr/lib32/libcairo.so.2)
