Hi, I'm new to gentoo and I'm trying to install old vmware to my first gentoo box which has Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13.
I get some errors while doing emerge =vmware-workstation-3.2.1.2242-r3: --<snip>-- * Applying vmware-config.pl-gcc-generalized.patch ... [ ok ] cp: `/var/tmp/portage/vmware-workstation-3.2.1.2242-r3/image///opt/vmware/lib': specified destination directory does not exist Try `cp --help' for more information. chmod: cannot access `/var/tmp/portage/vmware-workstation-3.2.1.2242-r3/image///opt/vmware/lib/bin/vmware-vmx': No such file or directory * Adding answers to /etc/vmware/locations /usr/portage/app-emulation/vmware-workstation/vmware-workstation-3.2.1.2242-r3.ebuild: line 138: cd: /var/tmp/portage/vmware-workstation-3.2.1.2242-r3/image//opt/vmware/lib/bin: No such file or directory mv: cannot stat `vmware-ui': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat `vmware-mks': No such file or directory man: making executable: /usr/lib/vmware-glibc-2.3.2-compat.so QA Notice: /opt/vmware/bin/vmware-ping is setXid, dynamically linked and using lazy bindings.

Where do I find the script and does someone have an already working solution to this problem?
