Hello,

I installed VMware-Workstation-6.5.3-185404.i386 from the rpm and had no issues …

BUT, in order to get vmnet-config to work, I had to link (soft) /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgvmomi.so.0/libgvmomi.so.0 to /usr/lib.

This is not a typo … /usr/lib/…/libgvomi.so.0 is a directory …

Good luck!

Try VMWare 7, if you can. It installs and runs without any problems on opensuse 11.2
