Ok well today I installed vmware 4.5 for Linux for I can get my Mac OS X to run. Well I installed Vmware perfect. Its just when I go to do its config file like it says to do I get permission denied and same when I go to run Vmware its self. Here is what I get:
Code:

Password:
ip68-228-229-136:/usr/bin # perl vmware-config.pl
Making sure services for VMware Workstation are stopped.
sh: /etc/init.d/vmware: Permission denied
Unable to stop services for VMware Workstation
Execution aborted.
ip68-228-229-136:/usr/bin # vmware
bash: /usr/bin/vmware: Permission denied
ip68-228-229-136:/usr/bin #

duffman108:
as root (su or sudo in a bash shell):
chmod +x /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl
chmod +x /etc/rc.d/init.d/vmware
perl /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl
