/usr/bin/vmware point to /etc/portage/profile/bin/vmware, which doesn't exist.
It should actually point ot /opt/vmware/server/bin/vmware.
Well, I have those broken symlinks here as well (and not having any overlay
here, as it was causing the weird broken digest bug for me even after it's been
fixed in portage)

Hmmmm (he says, scratching his head)...
You're both right, it's entirely the fault of a couple extra lines left in
there for no apparent reason that point to completely and utterly the wrong
place. Thanks for the heads up, it'll be fixed in the latest version of
vmware-server, which should go into CVS later this afternoon, and be unmasked
in the middle of next week... 5:)
Thanks for spotting that, this should now be fixed in CVS, and will be hitting
the rsync servers in a couple of hours. It's still package masked for a bit of
testing, but should be unmasked in the middle of next week. Could you please
try it out, and ensure this resolves the issue. Thanks... 5:)
Forgot to mark this as Fixed, but it is...
