Thanks for the reply!
When I sudo vmware from terminal it works fine. When just doing vmware I get the bash error listed above.
The permissions printout from your command that you wanted is:
-r-xrr 1 root root 4570 2007-03-01 13:19 /usr/bin/vmware
I changed it to:
-r-xrw-rw- 1 root users 4570 2007-03-01 13:19 /usr/bin/vmware
And nothing changed. All the same errors in the same places, but it still runs fine as root with sudo or gksudo.
