The team writing the VMware View Open Client has released a new test version of the 2.1.1 client. This client fixes a few issues about library linking and some other fixes. The team announced that the client should build fine on Linux 64-bit systems as well as Mac OS X platforms.

I can confirm that it runs great on my Fedora 10 (x86-64). I just compiled the source code and connected 10 minutes later to a VirtualMachine running in a VMware View infrastructure on the other side of the world (Asia).

I had to add a single configure switch during my installation.

./configure –with-boost-libdir=/usr/lib64

And that’s all. You can connect to the VMware View Open Client group on Google code to retrieve the latest version.
