app-emulation/vmware-workstation-8.0.5.893925 USE="cups -doc ovftool -server -vix -vmware-tools" I get an abort: $ vmware NOT_IMPLEMENTED /build/mts/release/bora-893925/bora/lib/misc/codeset.c:1709 Aborted It doesn't look like this is unique to workstation, it looks like player has it too: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/444968?start=0&tstart=0 I tried the dev-libs/icu downgrade suggested here: http://superuser.com/questions/589501/vmware-player-does-not-start-not-implemented but it didn't help.
