Using files pointed to from BGO, I have successfully installed

However, vmware-player won't start. Checking in
/var/tmp/vmware-relson, I found the following message:
Could not

The message is correct, libvmware.so does not exist at the path
above (or anywhere else).
Try installing vmware-workstation and try again.
vmware-workstation costs more $$ than I'm willing to pay.
You don't have to use it. You just install it in order to get
libvmware.so. You then use Player, not Workstation.
It's fetch-restricted, so portage will tell you which file to download.
To download, you need to register, but creating an account doesn't cost.
