Dear friend i Just reading in sole old post, Today I am installing the vmware VMware-server-1.0.9-156507.i386.rpm
But when I run the following commands:
yum install /path/to/VMware-server.rpm smeserver-vmware-server --enablerepo=smecontribs
I just recieved the following errors:
ARNING: Additional commands may be required after running yum

Any Idea?

I'll refrain from being flippant as I assume you just had momentary lapse. :lol:
When instructions say something like "/path/to/VMware-server.rpm" they literally mean insert the path of where you saved the "VMware-server.rpm" from a previous step in the instructions.
And by your intro it is not clear to me that you found the wiki entry which describes how-to install this contrib. The wiki entry is at: http://wiki.contribs.org/Vmware

However, even in that case, it don't think it will be sufficient - I believe that you need "yum localinstall ...", not "yum install ...".
Note also that vmware-server 1.0 is no longer maintained by vmware.
