Thanks that did the trick with strace to find out what vmware was
looking for and then added the symlinks for 

ln -s /ia32/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf/loaders/* /emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib

This will work also for folks that don't have chroot installed.

dpkg -X libgdk-pixbuf2_0.22.0-7_i386.deb /emul/ia32-linux
ln -s /emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf/loaders/* /emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib

Interesting I tried using chroot in place of /emul/ia32-linux and that
did not work at all. I guess I have a lot to learn about this library
stuff. 

You must run ldconfig after making the symlinks. 

Still have this error but I suspect it is a another missing lib or
config file. Can't really figure it out with strace. Will take another
look.
