Installed vmplayer again, from synaptic, after an upgrade to kernel
2.6.15-28....along with required kernel modules pkgs.......running
from user it produces this error:

/usr/lib/vmware-player/bin/vmplayer:
/usr/lib/vmware-player/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0: no version
information available (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2)

When run as sudo, again, the same error, but vmplayer starts up, as
before....the libpng searches led to a dep hell of sorts, all of which
depended upon the following:

Depends: libc6 (=2.3.6-0ubuntu20) but 2.3.6-0ubuntu20.4 is to be installed...

running dapper, the available version that runs as sudo atm is 1.01
vmplayer.....direct from synapitcs pkg list.
