Install VMware Tools To resolve issues where kernel header path cannot be found

When installing VMware Tools, when running vmware-config-tools.pl, always prompt

The path "is not valid.

What's the location of the directory of C headers files that match your running kernel?

Input/usr/src/linux-headers-3.13.0-32-generic/include or/lib/modules/3.8.0-26-generic/build/include both prompt "The path ... is Not valid. ".

1. Update or install Linux headers

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$ (uname-r)

2. The associated file is that VMware Tools considers the path invalid because it cannot find the files.

cd/lib/modules/$ (uname-r)/build/include/linux

sudo ln-s. /generated/utsrelease.h

sudo ln-s. /generated/autoconf.h

The first two headers are all there, or there will be problems. After the following this also link to the normal installation of VMware Tools, it has been a great hardship ....

sudo ln-s. /generated/uapi/linux/version.h

3. Perform the installation again OK, run vmware-config-tools.pl also no problem

sudo./vmware-install.pl
