5 Why not just "emerge =app-emulationvmware-workstation-tools-VERSION"
6 and use the version that is already updated for Gentoo? You probably
7 have to merge the specific version of tools that matches your vmware
8 workstation version, so you might need to do something in
9 /etc/portage/package.mask to keep portage from trying to upgrade to
10 newer versions.
