Hi, |

I'm new to gentoo and I'm trying to install old vmware to my first |
| 4 |
gentoo box which has Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I get some errors while doing emerge =vmware-workstation-3.2.1.2242-r3: |

The installation script seems to be trying to copy thing to wrong |
| 33 |
places, if I understand the situation correctly? Where do I find the |
| 34 |
script and does someone have an already working solution to this |
| 35 |
problem? |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
The errors are fatal as configuration of vmware fails: |
| 38 |
|
