[Centos] VMWare problems on CentOS 3.3 x86-64

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.
