sorry to come in late - did you install it without using portage? |

that's because you "unmerged everything"? |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
You appear to be going around in circles a little bit :) I had a quick |
| 33 |
read over the thread and you've tried a few different things but with |
| 34 |
different versions of vmware-modules or workstation or whatever. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Can we get back to a known state by: |
| 37 |
1. unmerge everything vmware |
| 38 |
2. `slocate vmware` and delete all the modules, binaries, libs, init |
| 39 |
scripts etc off your filesystem (except the VM's of course). Basically |
| 40 |
try and get to a system that has never seen vmware. |
| 41 |
3. pick a version of vmware (workstation, player, whatever) and let us |
| 42 |
know what version of what product you're going to install, what version |
| 43 |
of the kernel you have, and use the portage version (please!). |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Then let's see if we can stick to one product+version+install_type at a |
| 46 |
time. |
