Update needed...

[Kenneth A. M. <ken...@gm...>]

If you read the link that I have posted, you will find that doing an
install from the repository doesn't give open-vm-tools that will run in
vmware when arch has the new 3.2 kernel. The link also talks about how to
fix the problem. Because I think that you will agree that installers of
this package should not have to go find this specific thread or know to
build against their kernel in order to get it to work, I am suggesting that
it be updated. I would perform the update if I could, but I'm not
authorized to contribute, and I'm not familiar with the code base. Let me
know if there's anything I can do to help.
