VMWare server + CentOS 5 gives you some problems during the install:
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:

this describes the fix.
The short version is:
- yum remove libXi libXtst libXt libXrender libXext libX11
- yum install libX11.i386 libXrender.i386 libXt.i386 libXtst.i386 libXi.i386
