[gentoo-user] OT - Installing VMWare eval - Where are the rc0 directories?

[Michael Sullivan]

I'm trying to install the evaluation copy of vmware workstation 6 and
the installer is asking me:

What is the directory that contains the init directories (rc0.d/ to 
rc6.d/)? 

What's the answer to this?  AFAIK, these directories do not exist on
Gentoo.  What should I do?  Do I need to create symlinks to somewhere
in /etc?  Please advise...

/etc/init.d

are you using the ebuild??

If you want workstation 6.0:

echo app-emulation/vmware-workstation ~x86 >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
emerge vmware-workstation

Why aren't you using portage for this?

The default works AFAIR, but portage would take care of it for you anyway.

I emerged vmware-workstation and followed the gentoo wiki guide to set
it up.  I added the michael user to the vmware group, and then logged
out and logged back in.  When I try to run vmware, it gives me an error:

michael@camille ~ $ vmware
/opt/vmware/workstation/lib/bin/vmware: symbol lookup
error: /opt/vmware/workstation/lib/lib/libvmwareui.so.0/libvmwareui.so.0: undefined symbol: _ZThn12_N4view10FieldEntry17delete_text_vfuncEii

Should I submit this as a bug, or is it something I can fix myself, and
if so, how?

I saw this in the wiki, so I issued it:

export VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK='yes'

And now the error is slightly different:

michael@camille ~ $ export VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK='yes'
michael@camille ~ $ vmware
/opt/vmware/workstation/lib/bin/vmware: symbol lookup
error: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libatk-bridge.so: undefined symbol:
atk_misc_get_instance
