vmware palyer hangs upon startup

[Gabriel M Dragffy]

I had never heard of XGL until you mentioned it. A search in synaptic
found a package called xserver-xgl which is not installed, is this what
you mean?

Your second list of instructions for creating links, made no difference.
The first command you gave me produced the following errors in the
terminal:

$ VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK=force vmplayer
