I'm getting an error I start it, but it says it starts:

I did try rebooting one last time, but it shows the same error when
starting up automatically too...
Anyone have any ideas how to resolve this? Or does it need to be resolved?
Thx

vmblock needs fuse enabled in the kernel. I'm not sure if it needs a
module or not, I know my kernels use fuse as a module.
If fuse is set in the kernel already, then app-emulation/open-vm-tools
is not built with the 'fuse' USE flag.

Bingo - thanks Daniel.
So... shouldn't this be considered a 'bug' then? If open-vm-tools
requires the fuse USE flag, it should be set by default.

It isn't needed if you don't use vmblock I guess. I just changed IUSE
to enable it by default anyway.
