16 Well, then that was only part of the problem. Two ideas I can offer:
17
18 - There might be other files with broken permissions. You could try
19 finding them with something like:
20
21 find /opt/vmware -perm 0400 -o -perm 0600 -o -perm 0700
22
23 If this finds any, set the permissions correctly (usually the owner and
24 group have the same permission bits, and the write bit is removed for
25 world).
26
27 - Try to run "revdep-rebuild -pv" and see if you have any broken
28 dependencies in libraries used by vmware, and if so, re-emerge them.

32 Personally, I would *never* ever do that. But hey, it's your computer.
