Hi, Thank you, now the situation is better :) Unfortunately the VIX api installation failed. I have the VIX file, downloaded before, but it seems nobody cares about this file. After I installed vmware-server, the /opt/vmware/server/bin/vmware-config.pl failed to install vix api. Anyway, I do not know, what is it. Other thing, vmware-server-console unable to connect to the server on localhost. Unfortunately the web gui has no console, but a stupid message to install the plugin. When I click to install, I got a more stupid help how to install. I got sick about vmware I guess, this is my fault I have to use this to get my usb scanner working under windows running from real partition. Probably I will buy a new scanner soon and drop out all the vmware stuff... Cheers, István -- BSA. Mert megérdemlitek. Open Source. Mert megérdemlem. -- BSA. They value it. Open Source. The value.

RE: [gentoo-user] VMWare on Gentoo?
IMHO, VMWare is well worth the selling price. This is one of the most useful, robust, solid, and transparent products I've ever used. Granted, I use it on an XP host with Gentoo in a VM, but I am just blown away every time I think about what it's doing and enabling me to do. The fact that they're giving away the player and server now free is even more astonishing. I strongly urge you to buy your copy and support that company.

It looks like there is an ebuild.
However, I use VMWare workstation 4.x. All it really needs is
/etc/rc.[0-6] directories and a symlink.
Try the ebuild or just do what I did:
cd /etc
mkdir rc.d
for i in $(seq 0 6); do echo mkdir rc${i}.d; done
ln -sf ../init.d
After that you should be able to run the installer. The installer will
place a file named vmware in /etc/init.d/. I just run that file before
I want to start VMWare. All the startup script does is bring up the
virtual network that vmware uses.
