I have CentOS 5.4 Kernel version 2.6.18-164.15.1.e15 and upgraded my VMWare server to 2.0.2-203138.x86_64 version. Running vmware-config.pl worked fine and the modules loaded successfully. However, when I login into the VMWare console, the vmserver crashed immediately. Looking through various websites and forums, I came across the following solution. I have provided the updated solution according to my environment. But the credit goes to bwlinux of the following forum<\/p>\n

http:\/\/bugs.centos.org\/view.php?id=3884<\/a><\/p>\n

Steps I followed:<\/p>\n

mkdir \/usr\/lib\/vmware\/lib\/libc.so.6
cd \/tmp
mkdir tmp
cd tmp
wget <\/a>http:\/\/vault.centos.org\/5.3\/os\/x86_64\/CentOS\/glibc-2.5-34.x86_64.rpm
rpm2cpio glibc-2.5-34.x86_64.rpm | cpio -ivd<\/span><\/div>\n
mv \/usr\/lib\/vmware\/lib\/libc.so.6\/libc.so.6 \/usr\/lib\/vmware\/lib\/libc.so.6\/libc.so.6.bak
mv lib\/libc-2.5.so \/usr\/lib\/vmware\/lib\/libc.so.6\/libc.so.6<\/p>\n

Edit \/usr\/sbin\/vmware-hostd,
add an “export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=\/usr\/lib\/vmware\/lib\/libc.so.6:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH” before the last line.<\/span> <\/div>\n
