5 Not the portage one (6.0.5).
6 You have to download (6.5.0) from vmware.com.
7 Download vmware-player, run the installer like this:
8 /path/to/VMWare-Player-6.5.0.18166.i386.bundle --command -x
9 extract_path
10 If that doesn't work, run
11 /path/to/VMWare-Player-6.5.0.18166.i386.bundle --help to get the
12 arguments.
13 In the extracted directory, you can find the .tgzs of the module
14 sources (they also include SuSE, Ubuntu, RedHat, and other binary
15 versions).
16 Just extract and compile.
