  • Comment: make install fails

    I just tried the latest release on a Fedora 8 VM and it seems to work fine. This is the output of the step that seems to fail for you: libtool: install: (cd /home/vmware/ovt/open-vm-tools-2009.10.15-201664/tests/testDebug; /bin/sh /home/vmware/ovt/open-vm-tools-2009.10.15-201664/libtool --tag CC --mode=relink gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Werror -Wno-pointer-sign -Wno-unused-value -fno-strict-aliasing...

  • Comment: make install fails

    In further testing, I have determined the problem only happens on the Fedora Core 5 and 8 systems I compile on, not on Fedora Core 11 or CentOS 5.3. Here's the errors: make[3]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/open-vm-tools-2009.10.15-201664/tests/testDebug' make[3]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'. test -z "/usr/share/open-vm-tools/tests" || //bin/mkdir -p...

  • Comment: vsock module not loadable into the kernel (2.6.28.7)

    This Tracker item was closed automatically by the system. It was previously set to a Pending status, and the original submitter did not respond within 14 days (the time period specified by the administrator of this Tracker).

  • Comment: vsock module not loadable into the kernel (2.6.28.7)

    I'm pretty sure we've fixed the vsock / vmci symbol issues in the last several releases. Let me know if you still see this issue.

  • Comment: rhel 5.x, kernel 2.6.18

    I see Dmitry's fix made it into the 09.18 release (git commit f77444); did that fix things for you?.

  • Comment: 2009.09.18 can't compile on CentOS 5.3

    Fix in git commit 6f43bd. (Fix is different from your patch, though.)

    Could you post the error that you're seeing? It looks like there's something more fundamentally wrong here, because libMisc.la is already linked into libvmtools.so, which is already part of the libraries used by the testDebug plugin you're modifying.
