Hi! I´ve installed Parallels on a fresh Ubuntu "Dapper". The output from "parallels-config" looks ok. But there is an error message when trying to start. I didn´t find something similar in the other posts handling with ubuntu. I think I got all the needed packages: linux headers, gcc, libc6-dev, make, gcc-3.4, libstdc++5, build essential libqt3-mt. Might be easy, but I´m still new in Ubuntu. No idea now. Thanks for help. root@ubuntu2:/# parallels-config Compiling Parallels Workstation 2.2 drivers... Drivers have been compiled successfully.

Oh, I already found these packages with synaptic, but the infotext said that they belong to KDE. And so I didn´t install them because I´m not using Kubuntu. Anyway, now I did it and Parallels starts. Thank you!!!
Hehe, thing is, Parallels is built using the Qt toolkit instead of GTK so it needs a couple KDE libraries here and there. Glad to help
