Problems with vmware and OEL 5.7 or 6.1

Has anybody run into the problem that vmware can't install
its vmtools after installing OEL 5.7 or 6.1?  We're getting similar but different problems on both versions of OEL.
( the vmtools are needed for the linux vm to have network connectivity )
The vmtools install just fine for Redhat.

google et al and oracle KB and these communities don't seem to have exact matches.
Oracle support said it's vmware's problem
vmware support seems clueless.

I'm hoping somebody knows the simple trick for this.  I can't believe we're the only
folks attempting this.

The problems have to do with rebuilding of  vmmemctl. 


Howdy, Stranger!
