vmware tools 安装问题

[sihaiwuya1986]

主机为windows vista, 虚拟机为ubuntu 8,04,运行vmware-install.pl,配置时出现以下问题，总是说不能建立modules。build-essential 和 linux-header都安装了。系统提示如下：

Trying to find a suitable vmmemctl module for your running kernel.

None of the pre-built vmmemctl modules for VMware Tools is suitable for your
running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmemctl module
for your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)?
[yes]

Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override.

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/build/include]

The memory manager driver (vmmemctl module) is used by VMware host software to
efficiently reclaim memory from a virtual machine.
If the driver is not available, VMware host software may instead need to swap
guest memory to disk, which may reduce performance.
The rest of the software provided by VMware Tools is designed to work
independently of this feature.
If you want the memory management 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 filesystem driver (vmhgfs module) is used only for the shared folder
feature. The rest of the software provided by VMware Tools is designed to work
independently of this feature.
If you wish to have the shared folders 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.

所有modules都安装不了，请叫高手知道，感激涕零。我的gcc binutils make都已经是最新版本了。内核为2.6.24-16-generic。

估计是虚拟机版本的问题，下载最新的vmware 6.03试一试.

before u install the vmware tools, u need to install some dependencies

please refer the following address:

没有这么麻烦吧，vmware6.0.3对ubuntu 8.04的支持很好啊，并不需要做什么预备工作，只要确保wmware的版本合适，那么利用其自带的vmwaretools就行了。
