I have installed Centos 5.8 without X Windows. This time I configured networking before installing VMware tools. IP address and hos info showed up.
I have a Centos 5.4 running. Did same sequence and it didn't work.
Checked loaded libraries used by vmtoolsd process. On 5.8 there a library called libguestInfo.so was loaded, whereas on 5.4 it is not running.
Used lsof -P -T -p "vmtoolsdPID". Could anyone tell me if that library should be loaded.
If yes, then any reason why it is not loaded or if there is a way to load that library somehow.
I am a newbie, so any ideas are welcome.
Thank you.
