Try running it through strace and putting the log here as an attachment (not as a comment). If it isn't something specific with Gentoo's installation, I'm going to have to refer you to VMware for support, since it is a commercial product.
How do I do it?
Created attachment 86073 [details] strace of vmware version 5.5.1.19175-r3, dies if executed by user The same issue here, when invoked by a user in users group, vmware dies with (null): file ../../pango-1.4.1/pango/shape.c: line 75 (pango_shape): assertion failed: (glyphs->num_glyphs > 0) (process:10741): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL (recursed) **: file ../../glib-2.4.8/gobject/gobject.c: line 1561 (g_object_ref): assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed aborting... I attached a ziped strace dump, have a look. Any ideas?
I found something similar in the support forum of vmware http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?messageID=334070񑣶 but the solution there doesn't work for me....
It's probably a permission problem because I can run vmware as root. I'm trying to discover which files have the problem.
I found the files! After chmod 640 and chgrp vmware them, vmware worked! I think it had the gtk theme of my desktop, now it doesn't. # for file in `equery files vmware-workstation`; do ll -d $file | grep -e ------; done -rw------- 1 root root 3324 2006-05-17 14:45 /opt/vmware/workstation/lib/libconf/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders -rw------- 1 root root 2490 2006-05-17 14:45 /opt/vmware/workstation/lib/libconf/etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules -rw------- 1 root root 2478 2006-05-17 14:45 /opt/vmware/workstation/lib/libconf/etc/pango/pango.modules -rw------- 1 root root 172 2006-05-17 14:45 /opt/vmware/workstation/lib/libconf/etc/pango/pangorc -rw------- 1 root root 11446 2006-05-17 14:45 /opt/vmware/workstation/lib/libconf/etc/pango/pangox.aliases # chmod 640 /opt/vmware/workstation/lib/libconf/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders /opt/vmware/workstation/lib/libconf/etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules /opt/vmware/workstation/lib/libconf/etc/pango/pango.modules /opt/vmware/workstation/lib/libconf/etc/pango/pangorc /opt/vmware/workstation/lib/libconf/etc/pango/pangox.aliases # chgrp vmware /opt/vmware/workstation/lib/libconf/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders /opt/vmware/workstation/lib/libconf/etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules /opt/vmware/workstation/lib/libconf/etc/pango/pango.modules /opt/vmware/workstation/lib/libconf/etc/pango/pangorc /opt/vmware/workstation/lib/libconf/etc/pango/pangox.aliases
