This is not very complicated, apart from one libgcc-issue that was fatal and kept me busy for a couple of hours.

If the correct version of libgcc_s is not found then VMware Server will not run correctly. For me it crashed every time I tried to create a virtual machine.

You can either link to the libgcc_s.so which accompanies the VMware Server distribution

ln -s /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1 /lib/libgcc_s.so.1

or install the compatibility library

yum install compat-libstdc++-33
