I'm not sure if this is in the right section but upon emerging this package from the vmware overlay, it says that you need to run something bin to complete install. There is nothing but a link to an executable called zip. What's going on? _________________ Billy DeVincentis |

I suggest you download this file and then place it in /usr/portage/distfiles/ then try the emerge again |

The problem is not emerging it. I know you must manually download the file and place it in your distfiles folder . The problem lies with completing the install as the emerge process instructs. _________________ Billy DeVincentis |

Linux1 billydv # /opt/vmware/converter/bin/
bash: /opt/vmware/converter/bin/: Is a directory
Linux1 billydv # vmware-converter
bash: vmware-converter: command not found

It's not completing correctly. Running /opt/vmware/converter/bin/ does nothing. _________________ Billy DeVincentis |

As the error message explains:
Code: | bash: /opt/vmware/converter/bin/: Is a directory |
You need to:
Code: | cd /opt/vmware/converter/bin |
There will files in there probably one of them fill have the word install in the title.
Run this file to complete the installation
Refer to official VM-Ware docs if unsure
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/
===EDIT===
Or else under directory:
Code: | cd /opt/vmware/converter/lib/vmware/installer |
