I get the following response when trying to run vmware-config.pl. The script continues after hitting Enter, but won't allow me to enter a serial number. When the perl script is done, VMWare won't load. I ran install glibc from My RHN and the system reported a successful installation.
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)

This program cannot tell for sure, but you may need to upgrade libc5 to glibc
before you can run VMware Server.
Hit enter to continue.
I found a thread that related to "Installing VMware Server on CENTOS 4.3 on AMD x86_64" which seems close but trying to run the commands listed to resolve generate their own set of errors listed below:
