Which version?

[Comment 2 Patrick Lauer 2006-04-09 05:20:48 UTC]

app-emulation/vmware-workstation-5.5.1.19175-r2

[Comment 3 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2006-04-10 08:09:04 UTC]

Umm... WORKSFORME perfectly.

Anyway, since this is a binary product, you need to get support from upstream as there is little that I can do otherwise.  If upstream offers a fix, then I'll gladly add it to the ebuild.
