Thinking that it may have been a package that was corrupted, didn't have proper patches, etc, I performed an emerge -e vmware-workstation. Unfortunately this didn't change the outcome. I installed vmware-workstation on my desktop which has similar useflags as my laptop and it executes without issue. I am beginning to think it may be something with my laptop, but downgrading to version 8, and vmware executes as expected.
Same here.
Installing vmware-workstation-9.0.2.1031769 made no difference. Backing down to the most recent 8.X version "vmware-workstation-8.0.5.893925", and all is well.
Found a solution: See: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/33779?project=1&order=dateopened&sort=desc Backing down to net-misc/curl-7.28.1 and vmware-workstation-9.X is running on my system.
Sorry for multiple posting, but wanted to ensure I could recreate the problem so I went back to net-misc/curl-7.29.0-r1 and vmware-workstation-9.0.2.1031769 is running without problems. I am dumbfounded as I don't know what "magically" happened. The only thing I changed was downgrading curl and going back to the most recent version as of the day of this post. I rebooted just to be sure that I am using net-misc/curl-7.29.0-r1. I hate it when it does this.
Well... unfortunately there's no setting RESOLVED ABSOLUTELYNOCLUE, so NEEDINFO will have to suffice. If you encounter problems again, feel free to re-open or better open a new bug.
