I had the same issues, this post on the VMWare site held the solution:
http://www.vmware.com/community/message.jspa?messageID=399695

This fixed my issue
---
cp  /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 
/usr/lib/vmware-server-console/lib/libpng12.so.0/
and
cp /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/3.4.6/libgcc_s.so 
/usr/lib/vmware-server-console/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1
---

Hope it helps!
