VMware setup error (libpopt)

The error message during VMware setup (vmware-config.pl) is due to the fact that Suse 9 has a too new package for the requested library:

/usr/bin/vmware-smbpasswd.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libpopt.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The following fixes the problem:

ln -s /usr/lib/libpopt.so.1 /usr/lib/libpopt.so.0
