Probably, my qestion is misunderstood.
I would like to know
Is it possible to have VMWare, opera and acroread on the same NetBSD
machine? And how to install VMWare together with opera and acroread?

I tried to do but I got the some errors:

ERROR: suse_base-10.0nb3 is already installed - perhaps an older version?
ERROR: If so, you may use either of:
ERROR:     - "pkg_delete suse_base-10.0nb3" and "/usr/bin/make reinstall"
ERROR:       to upgrade properly
ERROR:     - "/usr/bin/make update" to rebuild the package and all
ERROR:       of its dependencies
ERROR:     - "/usr/bin/make replace" to replace only the package without
ERROR:       re-linking dependencies, risking various problems.

because VMWare have conflict dependecies with opera and acroread.

Please help me.
