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...
