That's right, you've put the bundle file in the wrong place. It needs to go in /usr/portage/distfiles along with all your other installation files. You should also make sure it isn't present further under /usr/portage/app-emulation. I'm going to mark this as WORKSFORME, since there is a DIST entry for the bundle file[1] (not an AUX entry that would be required for it to exist under the ebuild directory). Please feel free to reopen this bug if that doesn't solve your problem... [1] http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/app-emulation/vmware-workstation/Manifest?view=markup
Putting the download in /usr/portage/distfiles worked, of course... I didn't remember the correct place, because in all other cases, it is mentioned when there is an instrcution in the ebuild. Should I re-open the bug just for that change (adding the instruction where to put the download file)?
