Ubuntu Feisty Vmware Server and libpng12.so.0

I have been working on yet another lanbox to replace my HP s7700n that I have been using as a home server. (more on this soon) I use VMWare stuff heavily at home and had installed VMWare Server via Automatix and apt-get/aptitude. However, in Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty, I can not connect remotely. So, I found How to Forge’s HOWTO on installing from tar.gz.

The install goes great, but when I run the server I get the following error:
/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)

As far as I can tell, the libpng12.so.0 that gets installed to the /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0 directory is the wrong version, your system should have a current version installed. To fix this just delete or rename libpng12.so.0 from /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0

Voila!
