Any help ? Big thank you
You cannot install the package provided by vmware.com. You have to use
the Gentoo ebuild. With layman, add the "vmware" overlay and install
vmware-workstation from there. Before you do that, make sure you
cleaned your system from everything installed by the official vmware
package.
