VMware 7 + Fedora 12 安裝 VMware Tools

Fedora 12 installs kernel-PAE by default instead of the normal kernel rpm for the i386 distribution. Consequently, the header files required by vmware-config-tools.pl are found in ‘kernel-PAE-devel’ and not ‘kernel-devel’.

所以 只安裝 yum install kernel-devel 是會找不到 Kernel Header Path…
要給 kernel-PAE-devel 補上

1	[root@localhost kazuya]# yum install kernel-PAE-devel

2	Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit

3	Setting up Install Process

4	Package kernel-PAE-devel-2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686 already installed and latest version

5	Nothing to do

6	[root@localhost kazuya]#

補完了 重新開機
再執行 vmware-config-tools.pl 就可以了

01	[kazuya@localhost ~]$ su

Password:

03	[root@localhost kazuya]# vmware-config-tools.pl

58	The configuration of VMware Tools 8.1.4 build-227600 for Linux for this running

59	kernel completed successfully.

61	You must restart your X session before any mouse or graphics changes take

62

effect.

63

64	You can now run VMware Tools by invoking the following command:

65	"/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox" during an X server session.

66

67	To enable advanced X features (e.g., guest resolution fit, drag and drop, and

68	file and text copy/paste), you will need to do one (or more) of the following:

69	1. Manually start /usr/bin/vmware-user

70	2. Log out and log back into your desktop session; and,

71	3. Restart your X session.

72

73	To use the vmxnet driver, restart networking using the following commands:

74	/etc/init.d/network stop

75	rmmod pcnet32

76	rmmod vmxnet

77	modprobe vmxnet

78	/etc/init.d/network start
