Problem:

When running VMWare workstation on OpenSuse 10.2, you get an error "The Folder could not be displayed - VFS error: Invalid parameters"

Solution:

1. Rename libpng12.so.0 in /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0



2. ln -sf /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0
   (while in the /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0)



3. Rename libgcc_s.so.1 in /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1



4. ln -sf /lib/libgcc_s.so.1
   (while in the /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 directory )

Environment:

OpenSuse 10.2

VMware Workstation 5.5.2.xxx
