Has anybody else seen this when trying to run vmtoolsd in a VMware Server or ESXi virtual machine? Guest is 11.4..
I'm confused. What OS is the host? What OS is the guest?
[ warning] [vmtoolsd] The vmsvc service needs to run inside a virtual machine.
Seems a bit odd.

It almost sounds like you are trying to install the tools in the host instead of the guest.
After copying the Vmware tools to the to the Virtual Machine you untar it and then you ran /~vmware-tools-distrib/vmware-install.pl (as root), Right???
Wrong.. ;-) I don't use the VMware tools from VMware, but the open vmtools distributed with the opensuse 11.4, the version from VMware won't even compile on 11.4. And no, I'm not trying to install on the host...
The host is running opensuse 11.1 x86_64 since that's the latest version supported by VMware Server 2, the guest is opensuse 11.4 x84_64.

Very odd. I have Vmware Workstation, and I have two licenses, one for a windows 7 host and one for my Linux host. (11.4) I have a Opensuse 11.4 guest in both machines, and had no trouble installing tools via the recommended Vmware installation method which compiles several components. Other than having the headers and a competent compile environment installed in the Virtual Machines, I had no particular problem getting this to run. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
