Vmware Tools for Linux 安装失败问题解决

几天来一直试着安装Vmware Tools for Linux 但是每次安装到中途都会遇到同样的问题

Unable to copy the source file ./installer/services.sh to the destination file

/etc/vmware-tools.

Execution aborted.

今天在网上不小心看到一个网友的回复顿时来了灵感，问题解决！！

首先按照以下方法安装

**************************************************************************************************************

安装Vmwar Tools

选择VM-->install VMware Tools

[root@localhost ~]# mkdir /mnt/cdrom

[root@localhost ~]#mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom/

[root@localhost ~]# cd /mnt/cdrom/

[root@localhost cdrom]# ls 后有

VMwareTools-6.5.0-118166.i386.rpm

VMwareTools-6.5.0-118166.tar.gz

[root@localhost cdrom]# cp VMwareTools-6.5.0-118166.tar.gz /tmp //拷贝到/tmp下

[root@localhost cdrom]# cd /tmp/

[root@localhost tmp]# tar zxvf VMwareTools-6.5.0-118166.tar.gz //解包文件

[root@localhost tmp]# cd vmware-tools-distrib/

[root@localhost vmware-tools-distrib]# ./vmware-install.pl //安装开始

一路回车之后出现：

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]

The path "/usr/src/linux/include" is not an existing directory.

查看目录/usr/src/ 根本没有linux这个目录

只有/usr/src/redhat

google/baidu解决方案：

1. 用vmware-any-any-update109打补丁

很不幸，下载完后，解压 安装出错

[root@localhost vmware-any-any-update109]# ./runme.pl

Unable to open the installer database /etc/vmware/locations in read-mode.

Execution aborted.

2. 继续google：有人说是kernel-source 没有安装

用RPM命令查看一下

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -q kernel-source

package kernel-source is not installed

....

（接下来便是漫长而痛苦又无用的kernel source 安装过程

不写了--因为在这里是无用功—）

3. 第三种方案是安装kernel devel包

先查看内核版本号

[root@localhost ~]# uname -r

2.6.25-14.fc9.i686

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -q kernel-i686-devel

package kernel-xen-devel is not installed

这是i686的内核，所以，要安装对应版本号的 kernel-i686-devel rpm包：

下载地址：http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/7201713/com/kernel-devel-2.6.25-14.fc9.i686.rpm.html

安装：

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -ivh kernel-devel-2.6.25-14.fc9.i686.rpm

完成安装后，在/usr/src/下已经多出了一个kernels目录

[root@localhost ~]# cd /usr/src/

[root@localhost src]# ls

kernels redhat

无图无真相,下面是截图

/********************************************************************************************************************************/



/********************************************************************************************************************************/

[root@localhost src]# cd kernels

[root@localhost kernels]# ls

2.6.20-2925.9.fc7.i686.rpm

表明kernel-xen-devel已经装好了

再次使用vmware-install.pl安装，

./vmware-install.pl

就一直enter，装完VMware Tools

(可自动找到配套的the directory of C header files了，哈）

在安装的最后阶段，会出现：

Do you want to change your guest X resolution? (yes/no) [no] y

Please choose one of the following display sizes (1 - 13):

[1] "640x480"

[2]< "800x600"

[3] "1024x768"

[4] "1152x864"

[5] "1280x800"

[6] "1152x900"

[7] "1280x1024"

[8] "1376x1032"

[9] "1400x1050"

[10] "1680x1050"

[11] "1600x1200"

[12] "1920x1200"

[13] "2364x1773"

Please enter a number between 1 and 13:

[3]

重启系统，OK了

The communication service is used in addition to the standard communication

between the guest and the host. The rest of the software provided by VMware

Tools is designed to work independently of this feature.

If you wish to have the VMCI feature, you can install the driver by running

vmware-config-tools.pl again after making sure that gcc, binutils, make and the

kernel sources for your running kernel are installed on your machine. These

packages are available on your distribution's installation CD.

The VM communication interface socket family is used in conjunction with the VM

communication interface to provide a new communication path among guests and

host. The rest of this software provided by VMware Tools is designed to work

independently of this feature. If you wish to have the VSOCK feature you can

install the driver by running vmware-config-tools.pl again after making sure

that gcc, binutils, make and the kernel sources for your running kernel are

installed on your machine. These packages are available on your distribution's

installation CD.

VMware automatic kernel modules enables automatic building and installation of

VMware kernel modules at boot they are not already present. By selecting yes,

you will be enabling this experimental feature. You can always disable this

feature by re-running vmware-config-tools.pl.

Would you like to enable VMware automatic kernel modules?

[no]

Creating a new initrd boot image for the kernel.

Starting vmware-tools (via systemctl): [确定]

The configuration of VMware Tools 8.8.0 build-471268 for Linux for this running

kernel completed successfully.

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

effect.

You can now run VMware Tools by invoking "/bin/vmware-toolbox-cmd" from the

command line or by invoking "/bin/vmware-toolbox" from the command line during

an X server session.

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

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

1. Manually start /bin/vmware-user

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

3. Restart your X session.
