Sardit:  It sounds like Urkle\'s workaround would be easier than the vmware method, but in case you still wanted to know how to install the vmware player on FC5:

1.  Make sure you have the kernel-devel package installed for your running kernel.
2. You\'ll need to use this vmware patch: http://ftp.cvut.cz/vmware/vmware-any-any-update101.tar.gz
 
It is really easy to use, you just extract it and run the runme.pl script, and let it do its magic.  I should have mentioned this FC5 requirement initially, but honestly I had forgotten all about it.

Urkle:  Smart thinking to use qemu, wish I\'d thought of that!

Linux Specific Issues / Workaround for FC5

Depending on how desperate you are to get Planeshift working on FC5, you can do what I did.  I have a VMWare virtual machine with Ubuntu (Breezy) on it, and I just downloaded and ran the installer in Ubuntu to get the files out of the installer, and then copied the files over to the FC5 host again.  The game runs fine, so it seems that this problem is specific to the installer only.  This solution isn\'t the most straightforward, but hey, it works. :-)

I should also mention that you don\'t need to buy VMWare Workstation to do this.  Just download the free VMWare Player (http://www.vmware.com/products/player/), and the free Browser Appliance, which is just a minimal Ubuntu install (http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/browserapp.html).  Or if you want the ability to install any OS you want, check out this How-to: http://www.hackaday.com/entry/1234000153064739/

Sardit is right.  I have never enabled SElinux, so I know that is not the problem.  It definitely seems to be an issue with the newer kernels.

Same problem here on Fedora Core 5 (2.6.16-1.2074_FC5smp):  Segmentation Fault

Anybody figure out a fix for this yet?
