configure-hostd.sh is missing from ebuild. and it's awfully crafty. Basically it starts/stops vmware-workstation-server service for you, which you can do yourself. Our replacement can look like this: #!/bin/bash action="$1" case $action in add) rc-update -q add vmware-workstation-server default rc-service vmware-workstation-server start ;; remove) rc-update -q del vmware-workstation-server default rc-service vmware-workstation-server stop ;; status) rc-service -q vmware-workstation-server status &> /dev/null if [ $? == "0" ] then echo 'on' exit 5 else echo 'off' exit 6 fi ;; *) exit 1 ;; esac And /var/liv/vmware/Shared VMs folder permissions needs to be 1777

I'll give it a try.
This version of vmware is no longer in either the official tree or the vmware overlay.
