机器安装的是Debian 4.0r3，内核2.6.18-6，重新编译了vmware的内核module（会单独写一篇文章），在安装完毕其它包之后，运行提示错误：Error while powering on: Failed to connect to peer process.
搜索了一下，因为安装的amd64位的版本，所以需要安装一个ia32-libs的包，以支持32位的系统。
这个包似乎不在安装盘里面，从服务器上安装提示版本不对。

- Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
- requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
- distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
- or been moved out of Incoming.
- Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
- the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
- that package should be filed.
- The following information may help to resolve the situation:
- The following packages have unmet dependencies:
- ia32-libs: Depends: lib32gcc1 but it is not going to be installed
- Depends: libc6-i386 (>= 2.3.6-2) but it is not going to be installed
- Depends: lib32stdc++6 but it is not going to be installed
- Depends: lib32asound2 but it is not going to be installed
- Depends: lib32ncurses5 but it is not going to be installed
- E: Broken packages
因为服务器上的版本高于需要的版本，只能从服务器上下载后在本地机器上安装。

这样就好了，可以运行vmware player了。
一些有用的命令行：
- apt-cache search package-name
- apt-cache policy package-name
- apt-cache showpkg package-name
