I am attempting to install vmware-workstation using the vmware overlay. I have included the emerge command and it's output, and gists including the patch output and the emerge info details.

The emerge command and corresponding output is:

emerge -av app-emulation/vmware-workstation [ebuild N ] app-emulation/vmware-modules-304.2 USE="pax_kernel vmci vsock"

Patch output: https://gist.github.com/crcxx/a2a572f7d670f88df4a1 Emerge info: https://gist.github.com/crcxx/147bc79f9ef8a4be12cf

Right, 4.1 and 4.2 are known to not work quite yet. However, if you MUST use 4.1, you can use the in kernel vmci and vsock modules and compile with USE="-vmci -vsock". I plan to work on getting 4.1 working fully somewhere around the second weekend of september

Thank you @eteran. That works for me!
