linux下安装vmtools方法

首先启动VM_Linux系统 启动后 在虚拟机菜单栏点“虚拟机” 然后点“安装VMware Tools” 然后虚拟机会加载CD-ROM…有.TAR文件 也有RPM文件，我选择了.TAR文件（看网上的文章说兼容效果能好点）， 我是对其进行双击解压的，将解压文件放在了/root的目录下面，然后新建终端，进入解压后的目录（即：/root/vmware-tools-distrib），输入 ./文件名.pl（“/”前面有个小点），之后回车，我第一次好象没有安装成功，出现了如下的结果：

[root@localhost root]# cd vmware-tools-distrib

[root@localhost vmware-tools-distrib]# ./vmware-install.pl

Creating a new VMware Tools installer database using the tar4 format. Installing VMware Tools. This may take from several minutes to over an hour

depending upon its size.

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/rc.d]

What is the directory that contains the init scripts? [/etc/rc.d/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] yes

Execution aborted.

然后我重新启动了一下虚拟机，重新操作了一遍，这一次成功了，出现了如下的结果：

[root@localhost root]# cd vmware-tools-distrib

[root@localhost vmware-tools-distrib]# ./vmware-install.pl A previous installation of VMware Tools has been detected.

The previous installation was made by the tar installer (version 4). Keeping the tar4 installer database format. Uninstalling the tar installation of VMware Tools.
