Error Starting VMware Workstation 6.5 in openSUSE 11.2

[AJanke]

Up until recently, I was running VMware Workstation 6.5 on openSUSE 11.1 without any problems, but when I upgraded to 11.2, I ran into a handful of errors when I tried to run it. Due to a few other odd problems, I ended up reinstalling openSUSE 11.2 from scratch, but the problems with VMware Workstation 6.5 remain. The installation completes fun, using the bundle package, but when I try to run it, I get the following error in the terminal window when I run the 'vmware &' command:
