I had similar issues but did not track it down to _the_ solution (it worked again after some fiddling around... I had neither time nor curiosity enough to inspect it in more detail). I believe it has to do with some issues in the ~/.vmware folder. Cheap shot (it might have been it): $ mv ~/.vmware ~/.vmware.old $ emerge vmware-workstation I don't remember what step re-creates the ~/.vmware directory (vmware-config.pl??). Anyhow, move the relevante files back to the new folder after it "re-appears" (especially the license file). If that does not do it, try unmerging the package and then erasing all vmware related folders from your system - that's what I did. I believe, emerge informs you about the relevant places after unmerging. HTH Urs -- Urs Joss 4055 Basel -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
