Several errors in building vmware-workstation-3.2.1.2242-r3: >>> Install vmware-workstation-3.2.1.2242-r3 into /var/tmp/portage/vmware-workstation-3.2.1.2242-r3/image/ category app-emulation * Applying vmware-config.pl-gcc-generalized.patch ...

When attempting to build vmnet, source files (actually whole directories) are missing. It looks like the directories for the modules aren't created at installation.

Errors from scripts. Expected Results: Built vmware modules from source. kernel version = 2.6.9-gentoo-r4
Same errors here. After the install /opt/vmware/lib/ contains only one subdirectory (icon/) and everything fails from then on. To get things going, I manually untarred /usr/portage/distfiles/VMware-workstation-3.2.1-2242.tar.gz to a temporary directory and copied the contents of vmware-distrib/lib/ to /opt/vmware/lib/. After this, vmware-config.pl could be run. The vmware executable itself still complained of not being set-UID root, but after "chmod +s /opt/vmware/bin/vmware" things seems to work (although I'm now probably missing some of the patches).
Created attachment 52398 [details] Fixed ebuild I've attached a modified ebuild that fixes two typos and comments out one other line that didn't seem to do anything but print an error. I'm not an expert in VMWare or ebuilds, but it works for me. As VMWare is licensed software, it would be nice to get a corrected ebuild out for people who haven't paid to upgrade to newer versions.
Fixed in CVS... sorry it took so long...
