I ran into this same problem with x86-64 and VMWare GSX server, VMWare
does not officially support x86-64 yet.=20
The VMWare binaries are 32bit...

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.
