vmware

trying to install vmware from aur.archlinux.org

makepkg PKGBUILD failed with:

==>     Found vmware.rc in build dir
==>     Found vmware.sh in build dir
==>     Found 00-vmware.rules in build dir
...
==> Extracting Sources...
==>     tar --use-compress-program=gzip -xf VMware-workstation-5.0.0-13124.tar.gz
tar: vmware-distrib/lib/bin/vmrun: Wrote only 8192 of 10240 bytes
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
==> ERROR: Failed to extract VMware-workstation-5.0.0-13124.tar.gz

So, any help for me?

Re: vmware

Sounds like the vmware binary was downloaded wrong.
try downloading it yourself to the build dir and run it again.
