I/O warnings and external entities

  • 772

when entering the input:

sudo /usr/bin/vmplayer &

I receive the following error in my terminal's verbose output:

I/O warning: failed to load external entity "/etc/VMware/hostd/proxy.xml"

So my first question may seem pretty stupid but that's just my style now days, why is this file referred to as an "external" entity by my operating system's I/O?

And secondly, how do I determine how to format an xml file appropriately on a case by case basis?

vmware-player xml io
