   I'm trying to install Vmare GSX 2.5 under FreeBSD 4.8 with the linux
   compatibility

   @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

   This is the output of the vmware-installer.pl original (see
   vmware-installer.pl in attach)

   @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

   Output after running here:

   Where would you like to install the VMware Management UI
   [/home/vmware/mui] :
   Starting to untar the image to /home/vmware/mui
   Finished untar.
   Configuring httpd.conf to run Apache as:
         User: 'www' and Group: 'www'
    The installer is not able to find the directory where the 'init'
   scripts reside.
    The directory should contain init.d/, and from rc0.d/ to rc6.d/
    These directories are not in any of the standard locations:
    '/sbin/init.d', '/etc/rc.d/init.d', '/etc/init.d'
    As a result, the VMware Management UI Web Server will not
   automatically
    restart when this machine is rebooted. You can start the VMware
   Management UI
    Web Server after a reboot with this command (as root):
            /home/vmware/mui/apache/bin/apachectl start
   [Press 'Enter' to continue.] :

   Using Existing SSL Certificate.
   Couldn't find necessary components on your system. It appears that you
   are missing the following library: libdb.so.3
   New versions of Red Hat Linux (8.0+) are known to ship without these
   libraries. If you are running Red Hat 8.0 or greater, please install
   this rpm: compat-db-3.3-<###> rpm (where <###> is a version number
   particular to your version of the distribution) from your installation
   CD
   If you are running a distribution other than Red Hat, please contact
   your vendor for a suitable library. Once the package has been
   installed, you may start the VMware Management UI with the following
   command:
   /home/vmware/mui/apache/bin/apachectl start
   UnForgiven# /home/vmware/mui/apache/bin/httpd: signal 13

   @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

   This is the output of the modified file of vmware-installer.pl (see
   vmware-install.pl.modified in attach)

   @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

   I add the libdb.so.3 to the /usr/compat/linux/lib/
   and I did brandelf -t Linux /usr/compat/linux/lib/libdb.so.3

   I modified too some variable to put /usr/compat/linux/lib instead of
   the /lib link.
   I removed the Eula asking if you accept their policy (to save time)

   Here is the Output:

   UnForgiven# ./vmware-install.pl.modified

   program will extract an Apache web server, Perl extension modules, and
   the VMware Perl API to your machine.

   To un-install the VMware Management UI, please run:
       /home/vmware/mui/bin/vmware-uninstall-mui.pl

   In this way i' been unable to run the apache server and run vmware GSX

   If anyone have idea on how to make it working or if any of you had
   sucessfully installed vmware GSX under FreeBSD let me know what you
   did :)

   P.S.: I'll try to dl an other source of the libdb.so.3 maybe this one
   is corrupted and i'll try without do the brandelf -t Linux.
