expected: ./configure completes
observed: couldn't detect libprocps instead of libproc
There is probably an easy option to fix this. I tried the variables for libproc I found in configure, but it made no difference. in the end I linked libprocps.so to libproc.so on my system and it worked (until my next distro update)
system: fedora-18
Doing the following before building should resolve the issue.
export CUSTOM_PROCPS_NAME=procps
export CUSTOM_PROCPS_LIBS=-L/usr/lib
Thanks Don. Are you a maintainer? There is an rpm in the works for open-vm-tools for fedora 18 which has been sorely lacking please review it here:

configure script was updated to automatically detect procps-ng package.
