Creating the symlink with ln -sf /opt/vmware/lib/vmware/ /usr/lib64/vmware fixes the issue.

Thanks, I will look into it.

I've applied a fix to the ebuild, if you re-emerge, it should now create the symlink you suggested. Interestingly, /etc/vmware/config does try to set libdir to /opt/vmware/lib... vmplayer just doesn't seem to respect that setting :-(.
