As I mentioned in my message:
It happens that I rebuilt the vmware2 port on my machine
on March 25th. That went OK. Just now [April 3rd] I tried
a force-rebuild of it, and I see the same error that you
[Danilo Fiorenzano] reported. So, it looks like something
has changed in the system includes, and that is confusing
the vmware2 port. (I say "in the system", because the
vmware2 port itself has not changed since I last built it).
I have not pursued this further, as I have determined that my
brand new PC is new enough that vmware2 simply does not work
on it (neither with stable nor current). Vmware2 builds fine
on -stable, but does not work. On -current it was building
fine until sometime after March 25th.
[btw, if anyone does update vmware, note that I sent in:
http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/50263
which just adds a missing like to the pkg_plist file]
