Should you be bored and have some time to get amused, take a look at “The IT Crowd”.
It’s a great British sitcom about it administrators and their weird lifestyle (yes, it’s very exaggerated : ) ).

  - expat-32bit-2.0.x
  - fontconfig-32bit-2.3.x
  - freetype2-32bit-2.1.x
  - glibc-32bit-2.x
  - ncurses-32bit-5.x
  - zlib-32bit-1.2.x

Additionally gcc, make, kernel headers, etc. should be installed to run vmware-config-tools.pl properly.
