VMware Can't Start on Peppermint OS 7

Problem happen on Pappermint 7 which developed base ubuntu 16.04 LTS, the version of VMware is workstation 12, installed without error, but when I try to open VMware they can't start, also no error appear on the screen.

Checking Service

First, check the vmware status by typing this commnad:

sudo systemctl status vmware

I noticed vmware is faild to start,

Second, try to start vmware service with command:

sudo /etc/init.d/vmware start

The output show me there are two services failed,

Rebuild the modules

To rebuild the modules from terminal type:

sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

I got an output that says there is no gcc installed on my system

Install build-essential (gcc include)

By typing: sudo apt-get install build-essential
Check gcc version by typing : gcc --version


Rebuild the modules

Type: sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all


Verify vmware service running


sudo systemctl status vmware

output:

sudo /etc/init.d/vmware start

output:

Updating the library path works


Type:

echo /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libglibmm-2.4.so.1 | sudo tee /etc/ld.so.conf.d/LD_LIBRARY_PATH.conf

and

sudo ldconfig
