[Bug 1509729] Re: gparted does not start, crashes with library symbol lookup error

[Charles Green]

Easy solution for vmware and vmware player:

The file /usr/bin/vmware is a wrapper for the binary files:  Edit
/usr/bin/vmware (or /usr/bin/vmplayer) and add the line

export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libglibmm-2.4.so.1/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

to the file, somewhere in the vicinity fo the line which says 'set -e'. 
Save the file, and you're good to go.
