Vmware Server - 2

[ruscook]

I reported this issue with Vmware and have found a (temporary???) solution
The error below appears and Vmware-server won't run if I have libcairo2 
version 1.1.10-0ubuntu1 installed.
vmware
/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware: 
/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_3.4' not 
found (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2)
/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware:

/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware: 
/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_3.4' not 
found (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2)
/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware: 
/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0: no version information 
available (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2)

If I downgrade libcairo2 to 1.0.4-0ubuntu1 I get only 1 error, BUT, 
VMware loads and runs.

ruscook at proto:/home/tmp/vmware-server-distrib $ vmware
/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware: 
/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0: no version information 
available (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2)


I've currently got synaptic, locking libcairo2 to the working version.

Has anyone got any advice as to how to get a permanent fix? If libcairo2 
has a bug, what package is it part of for me to report?

Thanks
