LENGINE fails to load on Linux Based Server running in VMware

Environment

Novell Audit 2.0.0 Secure Logging Server
Novell Audit 2.0.0 JDBC Channel
Microsoft SQL Server 2000
Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9
VMWare Workstation 5.5

Situation

When loading LENGINE, LENGINE will verify the license file and then hang.
If you check the running processes, LENGINE is not listed.
Any combination of channel configuration / driver versions yield the same results.
Error: Could not initialize logging subsystem; aborting.

Resolution

Install VMWare tools and restart the server.

Additional Information

The nproduct.log file did not yield any more information relevant to this problem. It simply returns an error identical to the error received when a channel is misconfigured:

Error: Could not initialize logging subsystem; aborting.
