VmWare-Workstation 10.0.1 on openSUSE 13.1

yes, it's possible.
Execute the .bundle file (make it executable with +x if it's not yet). After the installation the link/launcher of VMware Workstation is placed in the Application Launcher Menu under "Recently Installed" (KDE).

Make sure 'gcc' and 'make' are installed. When launching it, it will tell you that a couple of modules need to be compiled and you'll get an error about 'gcc'. Installing it compiling might still fail, so 'make' might be missing. After installing it everything went well here.

The logs are in /var/log/vmware-installer. So if anything goes wrong check the logfile.

I'll try to run another installation with 'make' missing to catch the error and update the posting. stay tuned!
