Subject: [gentoo-user] vmplayer wont start

Hello!

I've installed vmware-player, but can't start it. It outputs a lot of 
messages (none of them seems to be error msgs) and gives back the prompt:

Content of the log file:
szept 08 10:21:19.939: app| Log for VMware Workstation pid=8401 
version=6.5.5 build=build-328052 option=Release

I use version app-emulation/vmware-player-2.5.5.328052.
It wont start even if I add a virtual machine config file parameter to 
vmplayer.
Is there any trick to start it?

Thanks,
István
