Ubuntu 15.04 Guest OS
Kernel 3.19.0-15-generic
VMwareTools-9.9.2-2496486
When I try to install vmwaretools in my Ubuntu 15.04, I receive the following compilation errors (shared folder feature don't work):
Initializing...
Making sure services for VMware Tools are stopped.

Before you can compile modules, you need to have the following installed...
make
gcc
kernel headers of the running kernel
Searching for GCC...
Detected GCC binary at "/usr/bin/gcc".
The path "/usr/bin/gcc" appears to be a valid path to the gcc binary.
Would you like to change it? [no]
Searching for a valid kernel header path...
Detected the kernel headers at "/lib/modules/3.19.0-15-generic/build/include".
The path "/lib/modules/3.19.0-15-generic/build/include" appears to be a valid
path to the 3.19.0-15-generic kernel headers.
Would you like to change it? [no]

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.

The vmxnet driver is no longer supported on kernels 3.3 and greater. Please
upgrade to a newer virtual NIC. (e.g., vmxnet3 or e1000e)
I tried to use these instructions to solve the problem:
http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=1281
However, I don't have the /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source with vmnet.tar file.
I just have /usr/lib/vmware-tools/modules/source with the following files:
legacy vmblock.tar vmhgfs.tar vmsync.tar vmxnet.tar pvscsi.tar vmci.tar vmmemctl.tar vmxnet3.tar vsock.tar
How I resolve this problem?
Thank You!
