vmware-user fails to start after successful vmware-tools install

    Hello,

    Having got vmware-tools to install, and all the modules to build (thanks to the excellent support from the vmware community) I have now come up against another problem. If I try to start vmware-user either manually or if it starts automatically I get the following:

    /usr/lib/vmware-tools/bin/xorg71/vmware-user: /lib64/libgio-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_mapped_file_unref  

    I am currently running VMware ESXi Version 4.0.0 Build 219382. The guest OS I am running is Fedora 14 (kernel version: 2.6.35.11-83.fc14.x86_64). I have installed VMware tools 4.0.0-236512 and and built and configured the modules, although I had to patch vsock, vmxnet and vmci.

    Any help would be much appreciated.
