FYI: asm/semaphore.h was moved to linux/semaphore.h iirc. AFAIK, asm/semaphore.h was just one line that included the other location. So, this is an UPSTREAM problem. hint: app-emulation/virtualbox has the same problem. Quick google hit, same issue. Upstream was notified and "fixed" http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=989708&aid=2071170&group_id=204462

Sorry for the long delay. I've just pushed 20081010 into the overlay without any testing. Any chance you could give it a go and let me know how you get on? If it works out ok, I'll push it into the main tree shortly after. Thanks... 5:)
Which overlay and how to integrate into my portage usage? Thanks.
Hiya Steffen, the overlay I was referring to was the vmware overlay ( http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/vmware ). You should be able to make use of it using the layman tool, which you can find out how to install/use at http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/overlays/userguide.xml.
(In reply to comment #5) It works for me now again. Thank you very much. (open-vm-tools-0.0.20081010.123053 and vmware-modules-1.0.0.23)
