Cannot start vmware as super user?

[collapsed]

Running vmware workstation on Gentoo Linux, Gentoo2007 amd64 with vmware5.5.5 and vmware starts just fine (kinda)

collapsed@kaaba ~ $ vmware &

21689

collapsed@kaaba ~ $ /opt/vmware/workstation/lib/bin/vmware: /opt/vmware/workstation/lib/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by /usr/lib32/libcairo.so.2)

...then it seems to run fine, but once I sudo vmware I get:

collapsed@kaaba ~ $ sudo vmware &

21689

collapsed@kaaba ~ $ sudo: vmware: command not found

+ Exit 1 sudo vmware

How can I fix this?

Try entering the path to it.

so find where the vmware command is, and if for example it was /usr/local/bin/vmware do

sudo /usr/local/bin/vmware

Well, it actually made some progress by trying that, however it still

does not start. If I do the same withouth super user mode it behavs the

same, but eventually starts.

collapsed@kaaba ~ $ sudo /opt/vmware/workstation/lib/bin/vmware &

collapsed@kaaba ~ $ /opt/vmware/workstation/lib/bin/vmware:

error while loading shared libraries: libsigc-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

+ Exit 127 sudo /opt/vmware/workstation/lib/bin/vmware

Decided to scrap the idea of going with VMWare 5.5.5, as I have just gotten a license for version 6 from my school. Now that I am working on this, I am having some new isuues that I will start another thread for. Thanks everyone for your help.
