Moderators, I wasn't sure if this should be in Portage & Programming or in Unsupported Software, please feel free to move the thread if it's isn't in the right sub-forum.
The reason I suspect I may not have posted this in the correct place is because this concerns a package installed from an overlay, specifically, the nest overlay, so it wasn't clear to me exactly which forum it should be reported in.
Installing the latest version of vmware fails, because it cannot find a file(!?)
The package has a download restriction, where the vmware-supplied bundle must be obtained and then placed into the distfiles folder.
This was done. The build failed before obtaining the bundle file, and subsequently proceeded after acquiring it and copying it into distfiles.
But the build does fail, and I'm not sure how to proceed.
Luckily, the build log is quite short: Here it is:
