After Debian is installed on a virtual machine (VMware v6.0.4), I have used either of the following methods to install VMware Tools. Method (1) the Install VMware tools function system provided by VMware does not respond, nor does it generate a virtual CD for VMware Tools on the desktop.
Method (2) install linux in the VMware installation directory. mount iso to Debian and install VMware Tools through command line. What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? Unable to continue installation. Finally, the following method is used to solve the problem:/* solve the problem of location of the directory of C header files */1) uname-a check the system version www.2cto.com. My system information is: linux debian 2.6.18-6-686 2) cd/usr/src; ln-s linux-headers-2.6.18-6-686 linux (run apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.18-6-686 if the system is not installed) 3) export CC =/usr/bin/gcc-4.1/* install vmware-tools */4) Copy linux. iso to Debian 5) mount-o loop linux. iso/mnt 6) tar zxvf vmware. tgz 7) su. /vmware-install.pl if you don't have any special settings You can press enter all the way. After the installation is complete, move your mouse. If you do not need to press Ctrl + Alt, you can move the mouse to a region other than the virtual machine, it means that VMware Tools has been installed successfully! (In addition, I have also encountered the need to restart the Linux system so that VMware Tools can take effect .)
