VMware player will no longer start for me. I've been using it for a long time,
and the emerge log shows no activity for the last few weeks.

Suddenly, it complains that it's not configured.  I have run
     /opt/vmware/bin/vmware-config.pl as root
I have
     emerge --oneshot vmware-modules
both apparently successfully.

My attempt to
    /etc/init.d/vmware start
fails and suggests both of the above measures.

This is pretty serious for me.  Any suggestions?

Additional info: The output of "equery files vmware-modules" shows modules in
   /lib/modules/2.6.18-gentoo-r2-kosmanor/misc
but I'm actually booted into the "r4" kernel.  This in spite of the
fact that I was
running this kernel when I re-emerged them about an hour ago.  How do I get
them to install in the right place?

For now, I'm gonna just copy them.  Wish me luck.  I don't really
expect too much
to be different between r2 and r4.
