VM Tools Installation Error The path "is not a valid path to the XX generic kernel headers.

Search for many solutions on the web, not for my problems, and finally solve them by following these steps:

1. Update the software source (prevent build-essential from installing), then install Build-essential and linu-headers-$ (Uname-r) (where $ (uname-r) is your Linux kernel version number)

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

2. Create the following soft link to resolve the problem that the kernel header file cannot be found

sudo ln-s/usr/src/linux-headers-$ (uname-r)/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h/usr/src/linux-headers-$ (uname -R)/include/linux/version.h
