After you receive the last shinning server, 64 bits Processor, you are crazy to install VmWare Server and consolidated your old servers and make more virtual machines.
You start the install and after some steps it stuck on the license, but your license is ok….
The error that appear is:

sh: /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-vmx: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory

What is the problem?

The binaries of the vmware are 64 bits capable, BUT some of them were compiled using i386 32 bits libraries.

So how you make this work?

Use yum to install..use this commands:

1 – yum install glibc.i686
2 – yum install xorg-x11-libs.i386

And remeber to go in to the BIOS and activate the Virtualization Option if the Processor is capable.
In the HP server it is located in Advanced Options – Processor Options – Intel Virtualization Technology -> enable

One of the best virtualization software VMWare is now providing the server product free.

The main strategy is to let users know the VMWare plataform, and to provide a better way to migrate no VMWare ESX (paid product) in the future.

I realley recommend you to download the server and start using it to make your crazy and geek experiments with the VMs.
