I’m running an x86_64 install for Fedora right now on my laptop and want to use the RCLI tools which fail to install on x86_64 (amd64) OSes.
[root@tomcat vmware-rcli-distrib]# ./vmware-install.pl
This version of "VMware VI Remote Command Line Tools" is incompatible with this
operating system. Please install the "x86_64" version of this program instead.
I found a patch here but it fails to fully apply with the latest version. In addition, when you do get it installed you end up with errors like this:
[tom@tomcat ~]$ esxcfg-vmhbadevs
Can't locate VMware/VIRuntime.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib64/perl5/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0 /usr/local/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at /usr/local/bin/esxcfg-vmhbadevs line 10.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/bin/esxcfg-vmhbadevs line 10.
I’ve updated the patch to fix these problems for anyone interested.
Thanks a lot. It was quite helpful.
