Hi,
Using VMWare Workstation 8.0.6 build-1035888.
# ./vmware-install.pl
...
Searching for a valid kernel header path...
The path "" is not a valid path to the 3.7.10-1.1-desktop kernel headers.
Would you like to change it? [yes]
Enter the path to the kernel header files for the 3.7.10-1.1-desktop kernel?
Ok,
it has been always a pain in the neck.. since ever.
Why vmware cannot put a clear message about what the vmware-install.pl is searching for (or the where log file is)????
My settings are:
Anyway I assume you have the following packages (please adjust for your config):
You don't need anything else.
And be sure you don't have installed: libvmtools0, open-vm-tools, open-vm-tools-gui.
So please do this:
$> mkdir -p /lib/modules/3.7.10-1.1-desktop/build/include/linux
$> cp /usr/src/linux-3.7.10-1.1-obj/x86_64/desktop/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h \
/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/include/linux
$> ./vmware-install.pl
reboot and now you should be fine.

Thanks cavallo71 !
Worked like a charm -- shared folders working now.
However, drag and drop between guest and host doesn't work, and neither does copy-and-paste.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Paul
Mmmm I never dared to drag and drop.
The cut 'n copy it works for me using ctrl-shift-v or ctrl-shit-c from within the konsole terminal (I'm assuming you're using kde as default desktop).
I use meta-c or meta-v on mac (I'm using fusion).
See how it goes,
Antonio
Hi Antonio,
Yes, I'm using KDE .. I tried CTRL-SHIFT-C|V and doesn't seem to work. Works fine for my Ubuntu VM guest.
Oh well, not a big deal ...
Thanks again for your help,
Paul

My settings are:
- $(uname -r)" => 3.7.10-1.1-desktop
- $(uname -m)" => x86_64
Anyway I assume you have the following packages (please adjust for your config):
- kernel-desktop-3.7.10-1.1.1.x86_64
- kernel-desktop-devel-3.7.10-1.1.1.x86_64

Worked great! Thanks for the information....
