vmplayer will not start after install on Arch Linux

I installed VMware-Player-12.5.5-5234757.x86_64.bundle as per the instruction found here. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VMware

When i run the command vmplayer it doesnt do anything and there is no error shown in the terminal. I checked the log file found in /tmp/vmware-userID/vmware-apploader log. You can see it here. Pastebin.com 

I have tried the solution to this problem found here but it did not help https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VMware#vmware_12_process_terminates_immediately_after_start.2C_...

I also tried recompiling all of the modules with this command vmware-modconfig --console --install-all but that didnt help either.

i Have verified that all of the services are running. I am also running the latest release of Arch Linux.
