#1744: Ossimplanet crashes on VMWare player VM
---------------------+--------------------------------
 Reporter:  micha    |      Owner:  live-demo@…

 Priority:  major    |  Milestone:  OSGeoLive10.0
Component:  LiveDVD  |   Keywords:  ossimplanet vmware
---------------------+--------------------------------
 After launching Ossimplant, the splash screen comes up, then the
 application just closes.  I allocated 1.5GB RAM to the VM.

 From a console:

 {{{
 user at osgeo-live:~$ ossimplanet
 ossimPlanetEphemeris support disabled, please recompile with
 OSSIMPLANET_ENABLE_EPHEMERIS defined
 VMware: vmw_ioctl_command error Invalid argument.
 Aborted (core dumped)
 }}}

 This is specific to VMWare virtual machine. In a Virtualbox VM it works as
 expected.
