I have been running zenoss 4.2 and most recently upgraded to 4.2.3. I haven't had an issue that I couldn't solve through googling or searching the forums here until now. I installed cli 5.0 on rhel6.3 64bit (zenoss host). I had an issue previously where I screwed up the vmware tools libaries trying to get all the depenancies figured out, but I reverted to an older snapshot and fixed that. I verified that resxtop was working and then I also verified that I could model a device. I came in this morning planning to add my esx host to zenoss. I went to model it and it failed. I modeled the older device I did last night and it failed as well.

here is the output from the modeler.

you need to compile/recompile the python-lxml package against the libxml2 you've got installed on your OS.

I couldn't figureout how to recompile it. But I did find way to install everything necessary via yum. CPAN probably broke something along the way when I was installing dependencies by hand.

FYI - this is what I found I had to do on a CentOS 64bit minimal install to get the VMware CLI 5.1 installed and working.

1. yum -y install openssl-devel libxml2-devel e2fsprogs-devel perl perl-CPAN gcc make libuuid-devel
2. **NOTE VMware CLI is not 64bit, so you need to install the 32bit libraries - the following was specifically to make sure resxtop was working**
3. yum -y install glibc.i686 zlib.i686 ncurses-libs.i686 libstdc++.i686 libxml2.i686
