Hey,

No he's right, remove the library, but specifically, remove vmware's
version of the library:
/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_S.SO.1/libgcc_S.SO.1

This is gaining preference over the system version for vmware. I think
it is a bug in vmware that it installs the library at all when a more
recent one is present on the system.

This works for me using XUbuntu 8.04 and VMware Server 1.06,
same/similar setup as you describe.

cheers,
Owen.
