After emerging vmware-workstation on my ~amd64 system, /opt/vmware/workstation/bin/vmware-config.pl fails with the error message: [...] Building the vmmon module.

It looks like your GCC configuration is invalid. Try running eselect again to set it. It isn't a bug in VMware. If anything, it would be a bug in eselect-compiler.
I have checked what gcc I had installed. There were 2 versions: 3.4.6 and 4.1.1, but the currrent one was 4.1.1. Nonetheless I have unmerged gcc-3.4.6, and selected 4.1.1 as the compiler. Now I have: # equery list gcc [ Searching for package 'gcc' in all categories among: ] * installed packages [I--] [ ~] sys-devel/gcc-4.1.1 (4.1) [I--] [ ~] sys-devel/gcc-config-2.0.0_rc1 (0) [I--] [ ~] x11-misc/gccmakedep-1.0.2 (0) # eselect compiler list Available compilers for CTARGET i686-pc-linux-gnu [1] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.1/x86-vanilla Available compilers for CTARGET x86_64-pc-linux-gnu [2] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.1/amd64-vanilla Activated profiles: i686-pc-linux-gnu x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.1/x86-vanilla x86_64-pc-linux-gnu * x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.1/amd64-vanilla After that I have rebuilt the kernel to make sure it is compiled with gcc-4.1.1, and I have rebooted the system too. Then I have unmerged vmware-workstation and removed its traces from /etc. Then I have emerged it again. But the error persists, and I do not know how to solve the problem.
I don't have a clue if you've got cross-compiling stuff setup, unfortunately.
I do not know what you mean by cross-compiling stuff, but until recently vmware-workstation was working well. Now that I have upgraded the kernel and need to reconfigure vmware for the new kernel, things do not work. I have not done any intentional change to the building system.
I just got this problem, too. After some search, I found this: http://www.linuxforen.de/forums/archive/index.php/t-147797.html It says to `unset VERSION` before `vmware-config.pl`. After this vmware-config.pl runs fine. VERSION was set to "JavaCC @PV@" on my system (I suspect the file /etc/env.d/22javacc has done this). I have these packages installed: >>> einstein ~ # emerge -p gcc vmware-workstation gentoo-sources javacc [ebuild R ] sys-devel/gcc-4.1.1 [ebuild R ] app-emulation/vmware-workstation-5.5.1.19175-r3 [ebuild R ] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.17-r3 [ebuild R ] dev-java/javacc-4.0-r1 <<<
I can confirm that # unset VERSION # /opt/vmware/workstation/bin/vmware-config.pl solves the problem. Some java package could be the cause of the problem: $ find /etc/env.d/ -type f | xargs grep -w VERSION /etc/env.d/java/20blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.03:VERSION="Blackdown JDK 1.4.2.03" /etc/env.d/20java:# VERSION="Blackdown JDK 1.4.2.03" /etc/env.d/22javacc:VERSION="JavaCC @PV@"
I can confirm that # unset VERSION # /opt/vmware/workstation/bin/vmware-config.pl solves the problem. pentiumm ~ # find /etc/env.d/ -type f | xargs grep -w VERSION /etc/env.d/22javacc:VERSION="JavaCC @PV@" /etc/env.d/java/20sun-jdk-1.4.2.12:VERSION="Sun JDK 1.4.2.12" /etc/env.d/java/20blackdown-jre-1.4.2.03:VERSION="Blackdown JRE 1.4.2.03" /etc/env.d/20java:# VERSION="Sun JDK 1.4.2.12"
The files in env.d/java are NOT sources by shell. Could you test javacc-4.0-r1 from this overlay: http://overlays.gentoo.org/svn/proj/java/migrated-java-experimental-overlay/ and confirm it solves the issue?
Ok, fixed with javacc-4.0-r2. This version has only one variable in env.d: nelchael@nelchael ~$ cat /etc/env.d/22javacc JAVACC_HOME=/usr/share/javacc/ nelchael@nelchael ~$
