Hi fabien,

well ok makes sense that there is no log because it already breaks very early.
hm can you try to find out where vmware SDK is installed:

in a terminal execute:

whereis vmware-cmd

and also that here as user "root":

updatedb && locate vmware-cmd

or the previous command with "sudo" instead:
sudo updatedb && locate vmware-cmd

This should tell you the installation path(s) of vmware-cmd which than can be changed in the vEMan config file ( /[vEMan-installation-path]/etc/uservars_vEMan.cfg )

thx
Thomas

well.. glad to hear that at least that the setup part is working.

hm but it sounds to me that there is something strange happened while you installed the VMware SDK?
The error you mentioned means that a required VMware SDK library cannot be found!

You could execute the following to know if the lib is at least there somewhere:

locate VIRuntime.pm

it should print normally something like:

/usr/lib/vmware-vcli/VMware/share/VMware/VIRuntime.pm
/usr/share/perl5/VMware/VIRuntime.pm

But I believe you should better simply try to reinstall the VMware SDK and please note any errors while you install the VMware SDK!!

Maybe there is a dependency missing for the SDK so you may need to install something else first before the SDK will be installed correctly. But that will be mentioned when you install(ed) the SDK..
