Ahahahaha. Well, apparently my ranting got me enough points to finally download. So, for those out there looking for this patch, I'll save you the trouble of having to register and rant a couple posts before being able to use this tool...
Copy the following into a file called "ovftool.txt" and then follow the instructions in the original post:
#!/bin/bash
# ------------------------
# Start Script for ovftool
# ------------------------
# resolve links - $0 may be a softlink
PRG="$0"
if [ -L "$PRG" ]; then
PRG=`readlink "$PRG"`
fi
PRGDIR=`dirname "$PRG"`
OVFTOOL_BIN="$PRGDIR"/ovftool.bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$PRGDIR":"$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
if [ ! -e "$OVFTOOL_BIN" ]; then
echo "Cannot find $OVFTOOL_BIN"
exit 1
fi
"$OVFTOOL_BIN" "$@"
To quote renes, after completing the task above, execute the following commands in the terminal, where "~/ovftool.txt" is the location of the above file you saved:
>cd /Applications/VMware\ OVF\ Tool/
>sudo mv ovftool ovftool.bin
>sudo cp ~/ovftool.txt ovftool
>sudo chmod a+x ovftool
Enjoy!
