好，等有时间试一下！

# Find out where the kernel headers are
echo /usr/src/kernels/$(uname -r)-$(uname -p)/include

上述文本是在VMware Workstation 5.5.2-29772上安装FC6，
到目前升级后你的内核应该是：2.6.18-1.2849.fc6-i686，此时将上述文本中的2.6.18-1.2798.fc6-i686改成2.6.18-1.2849.fc6-i686，按提示安装即可正常安装vmware-tools。
希望对你的问题有帮助。

谢谢，我去试试！

你这个方法适用于不能上网的人吗？还有为什么非要我双击“vmware-toolbox”鼠标才能移出虚拟机呢？

sbf

你好！
一、如果不能上网的话，需要安装了在编译时用到的GCC和内核的头文件。
二、鼠标移出虚拟机，按Ctrl+Alt即可，按Ctrl+Alt+Enter进入或退出全屏模式，鼠标也会发生相应的改变。详细请查阅VMware Workstation帮助。
以上的说明是基于虚拟机VMware Workstation 5.5.2-29772或（5.5.3 build-34685）

sbf

今天安装了一下VMware Workstation 5.5.3 build-34685，在安装VMwareTools-5.5.3-34685.tar.gz后，发现/usr/lib/vmware-tools/modules/source/vmhgfs.tar包中的driver.c文件已经修复了上一版本（5.5.2-29772）vmhgfs编译的问题（2.6.18内核）。
……
#if defined(VMW_INODE_2618)
#define INODE_SET_II_P(inode, info) do { (inode)->i_private = (info); } while (0)
#else
#define INODE_SET_II_P(inode, info) do { (inode)->u.generic_ip = (info); } while (0)
#endif

#if defined(VMW_INODE_2618)
#define INODE_GET_II_P(inode) ((HgfsInodeInfo *)(inode)->i_private)
#else
#define INODE_GET_II_P(inode) ((HgfsInodeInfo *)(inode)->u.generic_ip)
#endif
……
这样安装新版的VMwareTools就不用# TODO fix vmhgfs compile这一段内容了。

我安裝沒有問題但mouse 不能移出vm
仍要按ctrl-alt
