Hi, i did an update world a coupl of days ago and when tried to emerge vmware-workstation-4.5.2.8848-r6 it complained about libsandbox with following error: Calculating world dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 2) app-emulation/vmware-workstation-4.5.2.8848-r6 to / >>> md5 src_uri ;-) VMware-workstation-4.5.2-8848.tar.gz >>> md5 src_uri ;-) vmware-any-any-update90.tar.gz >>> md5 src_uri ;-) vmware.png >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking VMware-workstation-4.5.2-8848.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/vmware-workstation-4.5.2.8848-r6/work * Applying vmware-workstation-4.5.2.8848-librarypath.patch ...

It looks like your multilib configuration is not working. Try upgrading to the 2005.0 profile for amd64.
Chris, this is a semi-production machine (that is almost no ~amd64 packages) and i would have preferred to keep it to stable and switch to 2005.0 when it would have been publicly released (i.e. emerge -upDv world would have forced me to it) is this the only option?
2005.0 has been released a few weeks ago, so this is the point to update your system anyway ;)
upgrade to 2005.0 will certainly fix your problem, 2004.3 will be deprecated soon
