My Fix
sudo mv /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1 /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1.disabled


http://metavige.blogspot.com/2008/05/ubuntu-vmware-server.html
cd /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
sudo mv libgcc_s.so.1 libgcc_s.so.1.disabled
sudo ln -sf /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 libgcc_s.so.1

http://forum.ubuntu.org.cn/viewtopic.php?p=718223&sid=6b6eabd9584799877e682b3fd63d58b0
删了 /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1及 /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so，便解决了，且运行一切正常

将上面出现的文件全都移走就行！！！！

I didn't find an exact match on the net, but similar hits recommended moving the offending library out of the way:

david@david-ubuntu:~$ cd /usr/lib/vmware/lib
david@david-ubuntu:/usr/lib/vmware/lib$ sudo mkdir bak

david@david-ubuntu:/usr/lib/vmware/lib$ sudo mv libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1 bak/
... and now I'm back :)

    *   Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron)
Run [1] after the initial install fails when compiling kernel modules. AMD64 users may get this error
/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_***' not found
Install Getlibs and enter the following commands.
getlibs /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware
sudo mv /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1 /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1-old

I had the same problem and fixed it like this
I copied
/usr/lib/libpng12.so.0
to
/usr/lib/vmware-server-console/lib/libpng12.so.0/
and
/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/3.4.6/libgcc_s.so
to
/usr/lib/vmware-server-console/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1
it seems that the libraries shipped with the vmware server do have problems with the cairo library (no version given ??).


https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2006-June/080987.html
This fixed my issue
---
cp  /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0
/usr/lib/vmware-server-console/lib/libpng12.so.0/
and
cp /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/3.4.6/libgcc_s.so
/usr/lib/vmware-server-console/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1

I can't start VMware by [Applications] -> [System Tools] -> [VMware Server Console]
but
# vmware
works.
VMware Server doesn't support shared folders.

Complete Installation
A complete installation installs the utilities to enhance the performance of the guest operating system, and all the drivers — the VMware SVGA driver, the VMware Mouse driver, the VMware SCSI driver, the VMware vmxnet networking driver (the vlance driver is installed automatically when you created the virtual machine) and the shared folders driver (for use by virtual machines with VMware Workstation).
