- 在Ubuntu下安装VMware Tools的方法
问题描述：VMware的版本是6.0.0，安装在Windows xp上，VMware里面安装了Ubuntu 9.04。然后在Ubuntu 9.04中安装VMware tools（在终端下运行
sudo ./vmware-install.pl），在编译模块时出现如下错误，从而导致很多功能如文件共享等不能使用：

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.

分析原因：由于编译过程和当前Linux的内核版本有很大关系，Linux内核不同版本之间代码差异较大，时常会出现某个结构多了个成员少了个成员之类的改动，造成vmware-tools在引用这个文件时出现编译错误。
解决方法：根据Linux内核版本的发布日期去下载对应的open-vm-tools（），比如我的内核版本是linux-2.6.28，我下载的就是open-vm-tools-2009.02.18-148847.tar.gz。然后解开，把open-vm-tools/modules/linux里的vmhgfs目录改名成vmhgfs-only然后压成
vmhgfs.tar,
替换vmware-tools-distrib/lib/modules/source下的同名文件，其他几个.tar文件的替换方法一样。最后重新安装vmware-tools即可。运行命令如下：
tar -xzf open-vm-tools-*.tar.gz
cd open-vm-tools-*
cd modules/linux
for i in *; do mv ${i} ${i}-only; tar -cf ${i}.tar ${i}-only; done
cd ../../../
sudo mv -f open-vm-tools-*/modules/linux
