I'm new to gentoo and I'm trying to install old vmware to my first gentoo box which has Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13. I get some errors while doing emerge =vmware-workstation-3.2.1.2242-r3: --<snip>-- * Applying vmware-config.pl-gcc-generalized.patch ...

Please post your emerge info. Also, will you be available to test this, as I don't have any way of testing vmware-workstation 3.x anymore...
Yes I can do the testing. I'd still like to make use of my existing vmware-3 license! Just to test things I just emerged vmware-5 and it installed fine.

Isn't this a duplicate of bug 82184 - 'fixed in CVS' but not yet in portage?
It is possible. Can you try to emerge sync and then emerge vmware-workstation and see if the problem persists before I continue?

This should be fixed with the latest vmware-workstation revisions of 3.x in the tree. If ti is not, feel free to REOPEN this, as I have no actual way of testing this easily.
