From the announcement per email: Features added in Workstation 4.5.2 include: - Experimental support for 64-bit host operating systems on AMD and Intel processors with x86 64-bit extensions - Experimental support for Sun Solaris x86 guest operating systems - New Virtual Disk Manager utility to create, manage and modify virtual disk files from the command line or within scripts - Support for the latest Windows, Linux and FreeBSD operating systems and service packs - Support for host operating systems based on the Linux 2.6 kernel - Enhanced VPN support over NAT Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. I was simply reusing vmware-workstation-4.5.1-7568-r1 (in overlay, I needed to copy the files from /usr/portage/app-emulation/vmware-workstation/files as well).

Re: - Experimental support for 64-bit host operating systems on AMD and Intel processors with x86 64-bit extensions I tried it out, but didn't get very far... has anyone had luck with this on amd64? $ vmware-config.pl <snip> What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel?

For now, I am going to leave this as -amd64 and I will contact VMware about the amd64 support. I know that a lot of users have been waiting for this release, so I'm going to find out what I can about the amd64 support. You can track progress of the amd64 support in bug #53879
Nope..still error for me...I did emerged sync,ebuild...nou luck [code] bash-2.05b# emerge vmware-workstation Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) app-emulation/vmware-workstation-4.5.1.7568-r1 to / >>> md5 src_uri ;-) VMware-workstation-4.5.1-7568.tar.gz !!! No message digest entry found for file "vmware-any-any-update73.tar.gz." !!! Most likely a temporary problem. Try 'emerge sync' again later. !!! If you are certain of the authenticity of the file then you may type !!! the following to generate a new digest: !!! ebuild /usr/portage/category/package/package-version.ebuild digest [/code]
emerge sync and try again... also, in the future, do a search or post a new bug... that was actually already reported (and I fixed it this morning)... The only information that should be posted in a bug are things pertaining to that bug, otherwise it makes it impossible to track. For instance, this bug was to have a new version of vmware added. It was added. This bug is closed. If there is a problem with that ebuild, then it is a new bug. =]
