I know of the issue using vmware server 2.0.2 and centos 5.4, but is their any reason not to use the .rpm install of for centos? I have always used the .tar file but this time used the rpm and it appeared to install and not crash. I went ahead and did the glib correction but I was wondering if using the rpm was not the rght thing to do, Thanks.

I personally do not see anything wrong with using the rpm to install VMware Server.

Installing things from RPM is half the point of running an enterprise OS. If you install from TAR, the package system cannot track it.
Installing from PRM is not "lazy", it is in fact what you're supposed to be doing.
