VMware Workstation is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured for your running kernel. To (re-)configure it, your system administrator must find and run "vmware-config.pl". For more information, please read the VMware Workstation documentation. i have re-ran vmware-config.pl 4 times now, and each time it says completed successfully, what gives? any special thing i need to do to get this working? im running kernel 2.6.9.-r13 and it automaticly downloaded the vmware-any-any-update which i read googling might fix any problems, but it doesnt work for me. any ideas? thanks nick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
