Summary: Does not build under CentOS 5

Initial Comment:
Hello,

We have been trying com compile open-vm-tools under CentOS 5 (CentOS release 
5.8 (Final)), x64_64. Initially we tried open-vm-tools-8.6.5-621624, using 
"--without-x --without-icu" parameters to configure.

It errors out at "make", with the following error :

vixTools.c: In function 'VixToolsListFiles':
vixTools.c:5460: error: 'GRegex' undeclared (first use in this function)
vixTools.c:5460: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
vixTools.c:5460: error: for each function it appears in.)
vixTools.c:5460: error: 'regex' undeclared (first use in this function)
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
vixTools.c:5513: warning: implicit declaration of function 'g_regex_new'

make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

Then we tried "open-vm-tools-2012.05.21-724730 (the latest snapshot available 
when we tried), using the same configure parameters, and we got the following 
errors :

stateMachine.c: In function 'VmBackupStartCommon':

'g_timeout_source_new_seconds'

I see that there's a check in config.log checking for glib :

configure:17212: checking for glib-2.0 >= 2.6.0 (via pkg-config)
configure:17233: result: yes
configure:17418: checking for gmodule-2.0 >= 2.6.0 (via pkg-config)

configure:18113: result: no
configure:18188: WARNING: glib is not recent enough, some features will be 
disabled.

I have glib-2.12 installed (RPM packages glib2-2.12.3-4.el5_3.1 and 
glib2-devel-2.12.3-4.el5_3.1), which is the default glib version shipped with 
Red Hat 5/CentOS5. The README file in open-vm-tool's tarball says that Redhat 
Enterprise 5 (i386 & x86_64) was one of the platforms used to test this release 
so I thought it would be a good idea to report this issue.

Regards,
