libmspack is not available on RHEL 6.x and therefore you have to build/install it yourself from source code. Is there any reason you are not able to use VMware Tools or OSPs (http://packages.vmware.com) for your purpose? > And one more thing, just curious to know, is open-vm-tools available for RHEL > 6.6? No. You will have to build/install/maintain it yourself. We only support VMware Tools and OSPs (http://packages.vmware.com) for this guest. Currently, open-vm-tools is supported on RHEL 7 onwards.

It seems that there are no rpms available for them in yum repository. So I took a look at https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools and tried to build the code. I did "./configure", but it has failed giving me below error: checking for libmspack >= 0.0.20040308alpha (via pkg-config)... no configure: error: mspack >= 0.0.20040308alpha is required. Is there a way to tackle this issue, I tried a lot, but couldn't get anything. Any help is highly appreciated. And one more thing, just curious to know, is open-vm-tools available for RHEL 6.6? -- Avinash D. Jadhao Phone No : 09403609489 Registered GNU/Linux User #503089
