Emerging vmware-workstation-tools-5.5.3 is successful. However, when running the /opt/vmware/workstation/tools/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl script, the script bails out when building the vmxnet module with the following error: Can not find /etc/vmware-tools/init.d/network and /etc/vmware-tools/init.d/networking. This results in a description of the vmxnet driver, and asks you to check if you have gcc, binutils, make, and the kernel sources installed (all are installed). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge vmware-workstation-tools 2. /opt/vmware/workstation/tools/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl Actual Results: vmxnet driver fails to build (with error described above) Expected Results: vmxnet driver loads properly (as it has with the vmware-workstation-tools-5.5.1 ebuild).

Chris, just a note to this, you might want to look at the experimental vmware-server-tools ebuild I've been working on. It builds the modules as kernel modules and installs all the other bits and pieces on top of that, which may be a solution to letting the scripts do it. After that, all it'd need would be a patch to the configure script not to do the module compilationy bits... 5:)
I'm pretty sure that this is now fixed, as I had forgotten to copy the patches from the vmware overlay to the live tree for 5.5.3 (which fixes the init.d location)... Let me know if this doesn't fix it for you.
