The current ebuild in the main tree (app-emulation/vmware-workstation-6.5.3.185404) fails on x86-64 due to checksum against that version downloaded from vmware). The latest 6.5 version from VMWare is now 6.5.4. Similar failure in current from vmware overlay (v. 7.1.1). Simply forcing a manifest recalculation gets past that error, but fails later in the emerge. I'm aware that this is certainly due to VMWare's habit of changing the app without changing the build number, but cannot currently install VMWare on Gentoo. emerge --info: Portage 2.1.9.2 (default/linux/amd64/10.0, gcc-4.4.4, glibc-2.12.1-r1, 2.6.35-gentoo-r5 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.35-gentoo-r5-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-2_Duo_CPU_E6750_@_2.66GHz-with-gentoo-2.0.1 Timestamp of tree: Thu, 09 Sep 2010 17:45:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 4.1_p7 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.11 dev-lang/python: 2.6.5-r3, 3.1.2-r4 dev-util/cmake: 2.8.1-r2 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.1 sys-apps/openrc: 0.6.3 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.3-r1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.67 sys-devel/automake: 1.10.3, 1.11.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.20.1-r1 sys-devel/gcc: 4.4.4-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.10 sys-devel/make: 3.81-r2 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.35 (sys-kernel/linux-headers) ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" ACCEPT_LICENSE="*" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=core2 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/portage /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/language.dat.d /etc/texmf/language.def.d /etc/texmf/updmap.d /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-march=core2 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="assume-digests distlocks fixlafiles fixpackages news parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms splitdebug strict unknown-features-warn unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org" LANG="C" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/var/lib/layman/emacs /var/lib/layman/java-overlay /var/lib/layman/lisp /var/lib/layman/dotnet /var/lib/layman/vmware" SYNC="rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X acl alsa amd64 berkdb bzip2 cairo cdr cli consolekit cracklib crypt cups cxx dbus dri dvd emacs emerald fortran gdbm gmplayer gnome gpm gtk hal iconv ipv6 java jpeg kde kpathsea latex lisp mmx modules mudflap multilib ncurses nls nptl nptl-only nptlonly nsplugin nvidia opengl openmp pam pcre perl png pppd python qt3support qt4 readline reflection ruby samba sbcl session sse sse2 ssl sysfs tcpd tex threads unicode xfce4 xml xorg xvmc zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache cgi cgid dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev mouse kbd keyboard" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby18" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="intel" XTABLES_ADDONS="quota2 psd pknock lscan length2 ipv4options ipset ipp2p iface geoip fuzzy condition tee tarpit sysrq steal rawnat logmark ipmark dhcpmac delude chaos account" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_BUNZIP2_COMMAND, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
vmware-workstation 6.5.4 is in portage. Manifest is updated. I checked md5sums: they are identical. :/ ?
Yes, things seem OK now. May have been an issue at my end. Thanks.
