"workstation 5" meant vmware, kind "workstation", version 5.5.3 Oh, I see what you mean.

There is one: $ eix vmware-workstation * app-emulation/vmware-workstation Available versions: 4.5.3.19414-r7 5.5.4.44386 [M]~6.0.0.45731 [M]~6.0.0.45731[1] Homepage: http://www.vmware.com/products/desktop/ws_features.html Description: Emulate a complete PC on your PC without the usual performance overhead of most emulators * app-emulation/vmware-workstation-tools Available versions: *4.5.3-r1 *4.5.3-r1[1] ~5.5.1-r2 ~5.5.1-r2[1] ~5.5.2 ~5.5.2[1] ~5.5.3 ~5.5.3[1] Homepage: http://www.vmware.com/ Description: Guest-os tools for VMware Workstation ...from which it seems you can install any of several versions.

I know that Mike Auty put a lot of work into getting the ebuilds to work, and he's a friendly chap, always ready to help. -- Rgds Peter.
