The easiest way to get rid of those warnings is to have a working "lsb_release" executable in your system. The code will first try to execute "lsb_release -sd" and then fall back to looking at a bunch of release files (for compatibility with older distributions). Here's a sample output from my Ubuntu box: $ lsb_release -sd Ubuntu 10.04 LTS > This seems to have silenced those warnings but I still get [guestinfo] > warnings "Failed to get vmstats" and "Failed to get nic info". The vmstats warning might be because you did not compile with procps support. The warning is a little too strong in that case (and we should probably make it less so), but you don't need to worry about it if that's the case. The 'nic info' warning is similarly explained if you didn't compile with libdnet support. Same thing, if that's the case, no need to worry, although I understand the warning is annoying. :-) -- - Marcelo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ open-vm-tools-devel mailing list open-vm-tools-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/open-vm-tools-devel
