      It’s “VMware” not “VMWare”!

      Hi thank you for this article
      to make things smooth, you’ll need to install this packge (if not)
      yum -y install libcanberra-gtk2-0.22-1.el6.x86_64
      and add this file canberra.conf under this directory /etc/ld.so.conf.d
      canberra.conf should contain this (and only this)
      /usr/lib64/gtk-2.0/modules
      after that, as root you run ldconfig
      that will remove these errors:
      [[email protected] ~]$ vmplayer
      Gtk-Message: Failed to load module “pk-gtk-module”: libpk-gtk-module.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
      Gtk-Message: Failed to load module “canberra-gtk-module”: libcanberra-gtk-module.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
