The contrib introduces a dependency that cannot be resolved. This dependency is not necessary for sme8.
 +
Download vmware-server 2.02 and obtain a license key (you need this during installation in vmware-config.pl).
 +
yum install xinetd
 +
yum localinstall <path-to--rpm-file>VMware-server-2.0.2-203138.i386.rpm
 +
configure vmware:
 +
vmware-config.pl
 +
and set vmware to autostart and reboot:
 +
ln -s ../init.d/vmware /etc/rc7.d/S19vmware
 +
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
 +
 +
Watch the console for a correct start of vmware services. Features like maintenance from external networks, vmware configuration db commands described in the contrib [[vmware]] do not work. Use
 +
/etc/init.d/vmware start|stop|restart
 +
to manage the vmware services. If you do not want vmware server to autostart, remove the symbolic link .
 +

The vmware server version 2.02 has a bug with a module in the glibc-2.5-42. You can find solutions all over the place, they all try to downgrade glibc to version 2.5-34. This won't work, it will brake the server.[http://ccforums.clearfoundation.com/showthreaded.php?Cat=0&Number=121752&page= This] post describes an elegant way to patch the faulty module for vmware-server. The glibc-2.5-34 file you need can be found inside the SME8b4 iso file.

No warranties, Happy VM-ing!
