CentOS 5.8 was announced on 3/7/2012.  I can't find any of these
releases of open-vm-tools that will build out of the box; they all
fail in the 'config' stage.

On a lark, I've tried building each of

  open-vm-tools-8.4.2-261024
    configure: error: glib >= 2.6.0 is required.
  open-vm-tools-8.6.5-621624
    configure: error: glib >= 2.6.0 is required.
  open-vm-tools-8.8.2-590212
    configure: error: glib >= 2.6.0 is required.
  open-vm-tools-9.0.0-782409
    Kernels prior to 2.6.9 are not supported in this release of open-vm-tools.

I'm curious what distros these releases were tested on...

If this is _not_ an appropriate forum for pursuing this topic,
please let me know...
