[Comment 3 Gordon Malm (RETIRED) 2009-07-27 16:29:44 UTC]

Not a hardened user afaict, not sure why its assigned here.  Please post your emerge --info for the vmware herd.

[Comment 4 Alexander Hoogerhuis 2009-07-27 16:31:18 UTC]

Correct, this is not a hardened config.

Please try open-vm-tools-2009.06.18-172495-r2
or better yet open-vm-tools-0.0.20090722.179896.ebuild

[Comment 6 Alexander Hoogerhuis 2009-07-28 12:33:19 UTC]

Tried, ditto result.

-A

[Comment 7 Vadim Kuznetsov (RETIRED) 2009-07-28 12:48:39 UTC]

Do you have sys-process/procps installed?

[Comment 8 Alexander Hoogerhuis 2009-07-28 12:51:26 UTC]

server ~ # equery -q list procps
[I--] [  ] sys-process/procps-3.2.7 (0)

server ~ # locate libproc | grep ^/lib
/lib/libproc-3.2.7.so

[Comment 9 Vadim Kuznetsov (RETIRED) 2009-07-28 13:03:55 UTC]

Do you have link libproc.so -> libproc-3.2.7.so?

[Comment 10 Alexander Hoogerhuis 2009-07-28 13:56:47 UTC]

The symlink is missing on some machines. Seeing that I've never tinkered with that package and we have aboiut 150 of them coming from the same blank machine that has been maintained as a base to be cloned over the years means that somewhere down the line the procps has misplaced it.

All machines are manually patched and it now works.
