Someone from vmware read the post and contacted me offlist.

It was found that the proprietary only package incorrectly linked some lib files to a directory and not the full path including the filename so everytim yum ran ldconfig it would choke.
They will include the fix in the next release of both x86 and x64 binary packages.

For now you can fix this by recreateing the faulty links, they will be easy to spot.

Thanks!
