I ran into this same problem with x86-64 and VMWare GSX server, VMWare does not officially support x86-64 yet. The VMWare binaries are 32bit...

Your system does have an ld-linux installed, it's just the 64-bit version from glibc x86_64:
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
Looks like VMWare needs the 32-bit ld-linux.so.2, which comes in glibc i686. Execute "yum install glibc.i686". Hopefully that'll get you going.

Hi folks,
I'm hoping someone can help with a problem I'm having getting VMWare to work on CentOS 3.3 (x86-64).
I recently downloaded VMWare workstation 4.5 (not sure of exact version number but its the latest version as of yesterday). I was hoping to run CentOS as my main OS and then use VMWare to still support Windows XP machines and run the couple of applications which
refuse to work properly under Wine.
I installed the RPM okay, ran the configuration script fro VMWare, however when it comes to running VMware I get a message about a missing libaray - "ld- linux.so.2".
I did a search on the hard disk and couldn't find it. I also couldn't
find an RPM package (either source or binary) to install.
Everything else on CentOS seems to be going okay, its really fast compared to Suse 9.1 which I was running previously (not sure if thats
because I'm running a 64-bit OS or that CentOS doesn't have as much
running at once?).
Could anyone suggest how I can get this library?
Regards,
Rob
