Cannot open ../lib/bin/vmware-vmx: Permission denied failed Updating ../lib/bin-debug/vmware-vmx ... Cannot open ../lib/bin-debug/vmware-vmx: Permission denied The reason as I see it: some of the files that it tries to update are not writable by their owner. Possible solutions: either "chmod -R u+w ${S}", chmod the files one by one (and maybe restore permissions afterwards), or fix the update.c file.
I'll look into it after the 2004.2 release is out.
I got similar problems with this update when installing to a clean box. "/update - file not found." Reason was that I did not install the 32bit emulation layer (emul-linux-x86-baselibs, ...) Just installing helps for me We should add this dependency to any doc
Has this been fixed? I haven't had any problems with either -r1 or -r2... I am thinking I just forgot to close this bug. Let me know... thanks
From what I see in the ebuilds: chmod 755 ../lib/bin/vmware ../bin/vmnet-bridge ../lib/bin/vmware-vmx ../lib/bin-debug/vmware-vmx # update75 doesn't patch vmware # ./update vmware ../lib/bin/vmware || die ./update bridge ../bin/vmnet-bridge || die ./update vmx ../lib/bin/vmware-vmx || die ./update vmxdebug ../lib/bin-debug/vmware-vmx || die Add to that, that I haven't had problems either. Yes, it has been fixed.
Cool... thanks
