Password:
ip68-228-229-136:/usr/bin # perl vmware-config.pl
Making sure services for VMware Workstation are stopped.

sh: /etc/init.d/vmware: Permission denied
Unable to stop services for VMware Workstation

Execution aborted.

ip68-228-229-136:/usr/bin # vmware
bash: /usr/bin/vmware: Permission denied

Can you do:

ls -l /etc/init.d/vmware ./usr/bin/vmware

and tell us what the results are? Also, unless you have an x86 developer version of OS X, you'll not be able to run it under VMWare since it emulates x86 processors, not Power PCs.

I have the X86 version of Mac OS Tiger, my friend gave it to me. Also this is what comes up:

Code:

adam@ip68-228-229-136:/usr/bin> ls -l /etc/init.d/vmware ./usr/bin/vmware
/bin/ls: ./usr/bin/vmware: No such file or directory
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 28816 2005-09-16 23:41 /etc/init.d/vmware
adam@ip68-228-229-136:/usr/bin>

Ok I got it to do perl vmware-config.pl I had to chmod 777 vmware in /etc/init.d/vmware. Well now when I do its agree to its rules and crap when I get to the bottom I cant do any thing. I dont see any thing to accept it. it likes stops on me.
