Required Library Versions

To help you verify the minimum library version, the checksystem utility is bundled in the Guest SDK package for Linux guest OS systems. After you extract the Guest SDK, the utility is available in the GuestSDK/bin subdirectory. If the guest OS has a compatible glibc, the checksystem utility prints this message:

This version of GuestSDK is compatible with the version of glibc in this system.

If the Linux guest OS does not have a compatible glibc, this error message appears:

This version of GuestSDK requires version 2.5 or later of glibc. For this system,
use version 9.10.x of GuestSDK from https://www.vmware.com/support/developer/guest-sdk/
