Was wondering if anyone can help with this, im trying to
install vmware-server on a 64 bit centos 4.2 machine and
then install is saying it can't find the libX11.so.6 lib and
more 

The correct version of one or more libraries needed to run
VMware Server may be 
missing.  This is the output of ldd /usr/bin/vmware:
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0xf7fd1000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xf7fcd000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0
(0xf7fbb000)
        libX11.so.6 => not found
        libXtst.so.6 => not found
        libXext.so.6 => not found
        libXt.so.6 => not found
        libICE.so.6 => not found
        libSM.so.6 => not found
        libXrender.so.1 => not found
        libz.so.1 => not found
        libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x00b4e000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00b35000)

howver i have the 64bit versions of these filesand im unable
to install the i386 for arch reasons im sure off, just
wondering
if anyone had come across acure for this is it just a case
that the vmware product needs to be compiled against 64bit
libs and not 32 bit libs

Cheers
