[gentoo-amd64] vmplayer

[Gavin Seddon]

Hi,
I tried this, it installed ok.  But when I try and start I get
'/usr/bin/vmplayer: line 85: /etc/vmware/locations: Permission denied
/usr/bin/vmplayer: line 177: /lib/wrapper-gtk24.sh: No such file or
directory
/usr/bin/vmplayer: line 177: exec: /lib/wrapper-gtk24.sh: cannot
execute: No such file or directory'
Can anyone help?
Gavin

I couldn't run that as it's not freedomware and I won't install
slaveryware.  Thus, the following is without any direct experience
with the program.  However...

I don't see you mention having anything for it to play.  Perhaps you just
considered it obvious enough not to mention, but vmplayer implies that  it
plays prerecorded sessions (created by the full program, which is NOT
free-as-in-cost, tho I understand a trialware version is available).  If
you don't have any of those to play, or if the user you run vmplayer as
can't access the place where the list is stored (/etc/vmware/locations
from the error given) so it can't find them, naturally you'll get an error
when it tries to play something it can't find.

Did you add yourself to the vmware group?

Type

$ groups

and see if vmware is included in the output.

Are you a member of the vmware group? I don't know if this is needed
with the player, but it is with VMware.
