If you want a easy installation of Vmware Workstation on Arch64 follow these steps:

- Install and run xinetd

- Download the tar.gz version of Vmware-Workstation-64bits (you need to register before)

(The next steps are taken from http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installing_VMware)

- mkdir -p /etc/rc.d/vmware.d/rc{0,1,2,3,4,5,6}.d

- ln -s /bin/lsmod /sbin/lsmod

- run vmware-install.pl

- when it asks where the directories for rc0.d thru rc6.d are, use /etc/rc.d/vmware.d.

- when it asks where the init directory is, use /etc/rc.d.

- run vmware-config.pl

- Install emul32-xlibs from aur (remember change arch parameter from PKGBUILD)

- Add this lines to /etc/ld.so.conf

  /opt/lib32/lib
  /opt/lib32/usr/lib
  /emul/linux/x86/lib
  /emul/linux/x86/usr/lib
  /emul/linux/x86/usr/qt/3/lib

- Run ldconfig

- RUN IT!!

[edit] Installing VMware Server 64 on Arch64

The guide seems to imply that on Arch64 you can only install 32bit VMWare Server.

How do I go about installing 64bit VMWare Server?
