While setting up VMware Server 1.04 on a fresh Debian 4r3 installation I was greeted with the following message each time I tried to install the management interface:
VMware Server must be installed on this machine for the VMware Management Interface to work.
Execution aborted.
After reading up and installing numerous lib packages I was able to get the installation to proceed by installing ia32-libs
apt-get install ia32-libs
The management interface appear to be some dependency on that library that prevents it from installing .
