Hi,
My PC is using Window XP.
I'm using VMWare Server Console 1.5.0.build-80187
I have a guess OS on the VMWare Server is Ubuntu 8.4.
I try to install VMWare Tools on Ubuntu 8.4 and had the following problem
root@pkto-Ubuntu:/home/pkto/Desktop/vmware-tools-distrib# vi INSTALL
root@pkto-Ubuntu:/home/pkto/Desktop/vmware-tools-distrib# ls
bin doc etc FILES INSTALL installer lib vmware-install.pl
root@pkto-Ubuntu:/home/pkto/Desktop/vmware-tools-distrib# ./vmware-install.pl
Creating a new installer database using the tar3 format.
Installing the content of the package.
In which directory do you want to install the binary files?
[/usr/bin]
What is the directory that contains the init directories (rc0.d/ to rc6.d/)?
[/etc]
What is the directory that contains the init scripts?
[/etc/init.d]
In which directory do you want to install the daemon files?
[/usr/sbin]
In which directory do you want to install the library files?
[/usr/lib/vmware-tools]
The path "/usr/lib/vmware-tools" does not exist currently. This program is
going to create it, including needed parent directories. Is this what you want?
[yes]
In which directory do you want to install the documentation files?
[/usr/share/doc/vmware-tools]
The path "/usr/share/doc/vmware-tools" does not exist currently. This program
is going to create it, including needed parent directories. Is this what you
want? [yes]
The installation of VMware Tools 1.0.5 build-80187 for Linux completed
successfully. You can decide to remove this software from your system at any
time by invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-uninstall-tools.pl".
Before running VMware Tools for the first time, you need to configure it by
invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl". Do you want
this program to invoke the command for you now? [yes] yes

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

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] /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/build/include
The directory of kernel headers (version 2.6.24-19-generic) does not match your
running kernel (version 2.6.24-16-generic). Even if the module were to compile
successfully, it would not load into the running kernel.

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.
