Description gentoo 2006-06-12 06:44:46 UTC 
EBUILD USED:
vmware-workstation-tools 5.5.1

VMWARE TOOLS TAR USED:
VMwareTools-5.5.1-19175.tar.gz

PLATFORM:
Amd64

BUG:
The ebuild tells the user to execute "/opt/vmware/tools/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl" and this script tries to use the directory "/opt/vmware/tools/sbin/", but this "sbin" did not exist, causing errors (like trying to create a symlink inside).

SOLUTION AND PROPOSAL:
The ebuild should create the folder "sbin" inside "/opt/vmware/tools/" in case it didn't exist. We suggest using "mkdir -p" (or similar) to create it and causing no errors if it existed already.
