This bug report is about an ebuild in the vmware overlay. There is a native 64-bit version of the latest vmware-workstation-6 release candidate (build 44426). However, the vmware-workstation-6.0.0.44426.ebuild in the vmware overlay only uses the x86 version, even on amd64. The native 64-bit version would depend on libsexymm (bug #176379) and libview (bug #176382) which are only ~x86 but work fine on amd64 as well. I'll attach a tested and working ebuild next.
Created attachment 117565 [details] vmware-workstation-6.0.0.44426.ebuild An ebuild that would install a native amd64 executable. Note that it depends on libsexymm and libview which are not even ~amd64 at the moment.
Created attachment 117569 [details] vmware-workstation-6.0.0.44426.ebuild The previous ebuild (attachment #117565 [details]) was not installing most of the bundled libraries. Nothing wrong with that if there is a native version of the library available. Still, that's a different issue, so here is a version that is closer to what the original ebuild does.
Committed to the overlay. Since the sub-dependency issues have their own bugs, I'm going to mark this as FIXED. Thanks for the ebuild... 5:)
