Closes #12

This is a continuation of #13

Let me know what you find out (definitely test w/o this pr first), and let me know if I should test anything!

Did the updates I did back in may fix this, without requiring the rewrite from the $ULIB variable to a hard-pathed /usr/lib ? Worst case scenario, we probably just have the variable getting set wrong for your OS, and need to update that in the OS detection.

Lastly, you added quotes around the bbrun command. Were you having issues without them? Because I think they break the "bash -x ./vmware" testing getting passed through.

I'm sorry, but I upgraded my kernel and the vmware kernel module no longer works (I'm going to wait for vmware to get compatibility). But I do remember that the quotes weren't necessary, they were mostly for me debugging (I'll add a commit clearing them). The other changes for /usr/lib were needed though, it didn't seem to work without that.

This is because the library path /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ is different from the nvidia library path /usr/lib/vmware (which is hardcoded in vmware unfortunately). I'll keep checking and if I'm able to run stock vmware again i'll test this out!

Out of curiosity, Which kernel are you running that doesn't work with vmw12?

4.6, vmware has a kernel module that was compiling before and wasn't compiling now.

Sorry, but I'm not able to push this anymore (I don't use vmware at all any more) (I'll leave the commits up for anyone who wants to though). Closing.
