【linux】——安装vmware-tools

一：点击安装VMware Tools；



二：此时系统桌面上会出现图标VMware Tools；这里面文件位于/media 文件夹下；里面有两个文件我们用第二个；





三：把第二个文件用命令：tar xvfz /media/VMware\ Tools/VMwareTools-6.0.2-59824.tar.gz -C /opt 把文件加压到/opt文件夹中；

四：用命令：cd /opt/vmware-tools-distrib/ 转到此目录下；

五：执行命令： ./vmware-install.p1 安装工具；然后就是一路enter键，需要yes的输入yes ，需要no的输入no；即可；

如果比较幸运，那就安装成功了，不过在安装的过程中会碰到一下现象：

一、 配置vmware-config-tool会有以下报错：

Unable to create the directory /mnt/hgfs.

Execution aborted.

原因：在/mnt下已经mount了光盘。

解决方法：将其umount，再重新配置vmware-config-tool。

二、配置vmware-config-tool还会有以下报错：

CentOS5 kernet: unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth0 to become free.

主要原因：配置vmware-config-tool与网卡的IPv6地址有冲突。

解决方法：将该网卡的IPv6禁用。

1. Add the two lines, if not already present, to /etc/modprobe.conf:

alias net-pf-10 off
alias ipv6 off

add the command to blacklist（/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist） instead as shown below:

blacklist net-pf-10

Note: Try to copy-paste these lines instead of typing them. I faced problems in one computer after typing it in. It wasn't something which was visible to me on casual inspection but copy-paste solved it.

2. Open /etc/sysconfig/network and look for the line containing NETWORKING_IPV6 and change the value to no as shown below:

NETWORKING_IPV6=no

3. Stop ip6tables firewall:

/sbin/service ip6tables stop

4. Prevent the ip6tables firewall from coming up ever again:

/sbin/chkconfig ip6tables off

5. Restart your network to see if everything is working correctly:

/sbin/service network restart

6. Some articles suggest rebooting the machine at this stage so you may do that too.

按照上面的步骤做完重启电脑重新安装即可！

安装vmware-tools的时候还会出现以下两种情况：

1、what is the location of the gcc program on your machine?

　　这是因为没有安装gcc的原因，用yum -y install gcc安装即可；

2、What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel?

　　用yum -y install kernel-devel安装即可
