As many of you already know Sting is going to be on Cyprus in 10 June. He concertize in Tsirio Stadium at 21:00. We already bought the tickets in the Musical Paradise shop. They are still available there by £25. This is a very reasonable price for show of the big music star.
Last year we missed Elton John show and we regreted about it a bit. So we decided to buy the tickets on the Sting’s concert beforehand and did it :).

Installation VMvare Workstation on Fedora 5
I use WMvare Workstation 5 on my home PC under Windows about four months. Once I decided to try it on Linux. Installation of VMware is more or less trivial. First, download VMware Workstation for Linux (I chose RPM) and install it. After that before the first running VMware it should be configured using VMware config script:
vmware-config.pl
But there is the first trick. It needs to build a module for the kernel. Therefore the kernel header should be installed:
yum install kernel-devel
On my PC kernel headers were placed in the /lib/modules/2.6.16-1.2080_FC5/build/include. But as I understand the script cannot parse correctly the latest kernel’s version names. You have to apply this simple patch to the vmware-config.pl:
--- vmware-config.pl.old 2005-12-15 21:55:24.000000000 -0800
+++ vmware-config.pl 2006-02-04 16:53:06.000000000 -0800

Upgrade to Fedora Core 5 finished!
My epic work with upgrade to Fedora Core 5 finished successful this morning. As I wrote there was only one problem after upgrade – Embperl gave a Segmentation fault. Gerald spent more than two weeks tried to resolve this. During this time he released a new version of Embperl which was adapted for latest version of Apache. But it still didn’t work properly. Funally, Gerald gave me a right point to solve the problem. He suspected that the sources and binaries of Apache were mixed up i. e. there belonged to different versions. I removed the package httpd_devel and deleted the directory /usr/include/httpd manually (some Apache headers remained there). Then I reistalled httpd_devel and recompiled Embperl. After that Embperl started work correctly!
Well it’s time to make an upgrade at home 🙂
