      2.0.1-RELEASE (i386) installed on VMWare Workstation 9.

      After installation of Open-VM-Tools 8.7.0.3046 (build-313025) following message in log:
      root: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/vmware-guestd.sh: WARNING: failed to start vmware_guestd

      I tried execute it manually and run following command (found in vmware-guestd.sh):
      /usr/local/bin/vmtoolsd -c /usr/local/share/vmware-tools/tools.conf -p /usr/local/lib/open-vm-tools/plugins/vmsvc
      result:
      /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libicui18n.so.46" not found, required by "vmtoolsd"

      How fix it?

      Thanks
