Subject: [gentoo-user] Where has vmware-config.pl gone?
Date: Thu, 05 Feb 2009 09:12:13 +0930	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1233790933.4391.33.camel@localhost> (raw)

Hi all,

I just upgraded from vmware-workstation vmware-workstation-6.0.5.109488
to vmware-workstation-6.5.1.126130 as I'm upgrading kernels, modules,
etc, and the old faithful 6.0.5 version has been hard masked...

I get the usual:

VMware Workstation Error:
VMware Workstation is installed, but it has not been (correctly)
configured for your running kernel. To (re-)configure it, your system
administrator must find and run "vmware-config.pl". For more
information, please see the VMware Workstation documentation.


But for the life of me I can't find vmware-config.pl.  slocate returns
nothing.  Google isn't helpful either.  The emerge log mentioned `emerge
--config vmware-workstation` which output this:

Configuring pkg...

Network settings database seems to be invalid,configuring default
settings
Configuring Bridged network vmnet0
Configuring hostonly network vmnet1, probing for unused subnet ...
Configuring NAT network vmnet8, probing for unused subnet ...
Configured default networks - Bridged, Hostonly, NAT

But vmware still complains about vmware-config.pl

Any ideas?

thanks,
