Archlinux从3.6.9-1-ARCH升级到3.6.11-1-ARCH后vmware 9不能启动的解决办法
最近pacman -Syu内核版本从3.6.9-1-ARCH升级到3.6.11-1-ARCH后，发现原来可以启动的vmware 9 无法启动，无论是直接点击vmware的图标还是在console下运行vmware都没有反映，也没报任何错误消息。
以为是内核的问题，于是尝试downgrade内核，到目录/var/cache/pacman/pkg下，执行pacman -U linux*3.6.9-1*，把（linux-3.6.9-1，linux-docs-3.6.9-1，linux-headers-3.6.9-1）这个3个pkg又倒回去重启发现还是不行。
无意跑到/tmp目录下发现有个/tmp/vmware-liao目录，感觉有点东西，切进去一看
┌─[root@tp]─[/tmp/vmware-liao]─[6+0]─[99%=]
└─# ls
vmware-apploader-3108.log vmware-apploader-3435.log vmware-apploader-3461.log
vmware-apploader-3199.log vmware-apploader-3448.log vmware-apploader-937.log
为了验证是否与打开vmware有关，又点了下vmware图标，果然多了一个log文件
┌─[root@tp]─[/tmp/vmware-liao]─[6+0]─[99%=]
└─# ls
vmware-apploader-3108.log vmware-apploader-3448.log vmware-apploader-937.log
vmware-apploader-3199.log vmware-apploader-3461.log
vmware-apploader-3435.log vmware-apploader-5657.log
打开这个新生成的log，在最后几行发现了问题：

看起来是/usr/lib/libpng15.so.15这个库文件的版本不对

看到这想起前两天为了解决在firefox下使用支付宝安全控件（http://blog.csdn.net/t0nsha/article/details/8491555）的时候，做了一个软链接，这里链接的是libpng15的版本，而vmware需要的是libpng12版。
于是重新安装libpng12

再运行下vmware，熟悉的窗口又跳出来了。
继续pacman -Syu把内核升级到3.6.11-1-ARCH，vmware依然可以正常打开，由此看来这次升级导致vmare不能启动的问题其实内核无关。。。
