Without getting into why your seeing this error, here it is: cp: cannot stat ‘/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libvmwarebase.so.0/libvmwarebase.so.0’: No such file or directory Quick fix: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libvmwarebase.so /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libvmwarebase.so.0 sudo ln -s /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libvmwarebase.so/libvmwarebase.so /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libvmwarebase.so/libvmwarebase.so.0
