I tried to `emerge vmware-workstation` It failed with these messages: >>> Unpacking vmware-workstation-4.5.2.8848-rpath-fix.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/vmware-workstation-4.5.2.8848-r5/work bzip2: Can't open input file /usr/portage/distfiles/vmware-workstation-4.5.2.8848-rpath-fix.tar.bz2: No such file or directory. >>> Unpacking vmware-any-any-update89.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/vmware-workstation-4.5.2.8848-r5/work/vmware-distrib ./update: error while loading shared libraries: libsandbox.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Before the failure, it downloaded several files, but nothing of the bz2 persuasion.

emerge sync and try again
Thanks for the tip. I should emerge sync more often. I tried again and while I still saw this in the output: >>> Unpacking vmware-workstation-4.5.2.8848-rpath-fix.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/vmware-workstation-4.5.2.8848-r5/work bzip2: Can't open input file /usr/portage/distfiles/vmware-workstation-4.5.2.8848-rpath-fix.tar.bz2: No such file or directory. The install worked fine. As did the config. I appreciate the quick help, thank you.
