Thanks for trying out the open-vm-tools! It's too bad you're having 
difficulties compiling; let's take a closer look and see what's going on.

So where did 'make install' put libXss? Could you provide the config.log file 
that configure generated?

Could you provide the full line of make's output which details how the file 
including file.h was compiled?
