After I remove the /emul entries from ld.so.conf and rerun ldconfig -v, 
I see that it does _not_ scan the 3 /emul directories and does _not_ 
find the 32bit X libs and I again get the same error with vmware not 
finding the correct libs.  At least on my system, the 3 /emul entries 
are required for vmware to work.  I don't have any other 32bit software 
that I can test.

I add back the 3 /emul entries, rerun ldconfig -v, and the 3 /emul 
directories are scanner and vmware works again.
