Description Jesús García Crespo (aka Sevein) 2005-09-18 02:21:36 UTC
The emerge process was correct. But when I finish the vmware-config.pl 
process, I get "failed" message when the scripts try to wake up the services. 
So I try to run vmware-config.pl again and I get this error message: 
 
app-emulation/vmware-workstation-5.0.0.13124-r2 
 
It happens to me with two different computers, both in ~x86. 

Reproducible: Always

Sorry, it was not a problem of VMware or the Gentoo ebuild. The problem was in
my kernel configuration.

CONFIG_MODULES and CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD has to be enabled in the host kernel.
Maybe it would be a good idea to add a pkg_postinst() message for this thing,
don't you think so?
