Are these tools useful for KVM?

All,

I've updated the open-vm-tools packages that have been floating around to the latest release - 4/25/2010 - for those that are interested.

There is quite a bit of new additions/changes over the past year such as the addition of a fuse driver for vmblock devices, vmxnet3, pvscsi, etc.

All,

I've updated the open-vm-tools packages that have been floating around to the latest release - 4/25/2010 - for those that are interested.

There is quite a bit of new additions/changes over the past year such as the addition of a fuse driver for vmblock devices, vmxnet3, pvscsi, etc.

Do they require any special repos besides the base ones? I'm trying to build them on a 32-bit centos 5.4 VM on top of vmware server and the build doesn't even start, it fails with:

[root@localhost SPECS]# rpmbuild -ba open-vm-tools-kmod.spec error: Failed build dependencies: uriparser-devel is needed by open-vm-tools-kmod-0-1.20100425.i386 kernel-devel-i386 = 2.6.18-164.15.1.el5 is needed by open-vm-tools-kmod-0-1.20100425.i386

the kernel-devel rpm is installed:

[root@localhost SPECS]# rpm -qa | grep kernel kernel-headers-2.6.18-194.3.1.el5 kernel-2.6.18-164.el5 kernel-devel-2.6.18-194.3.1.el5 kernel-2.6.18-53.el5

but uriparser-devel is not in the standard repos:

[root@localhost SPECS]# yum search all | grep uriparser [root@localhost SPECS]#

Is anything here I'm missing?
