How can I install the vm-tools for the 'lenny '.

Sorry for my English...

I had the problem when I install vm-tools for 'lenny', I can't compiled all the modules, errors about gcc (my version of gcc 4.3, it seems needs 4.1).

I try to install gcc 4.1, then failure...

I try to install the machine virtual tools for vmware server 2 for my 'lenny', then I got the same problems.

VMware-workstation: 6.5.1 (vm-tools 7.x vm - workstation6.5.1, vm-tools 2.0 122956 vm-Server 2)

host of os: vista 64 (u)

guest operating system: debian lenny

Thanks for any information

Sofar,

After 12 1 / 2 + hours yesterday, I finally found a solution to install VMWare Tools on Linux myself, and finally got everything working under Ubuntu 8.10 guest OS. Maybe / I hope that this tutorial below will help you.

For more detailed instructions (step by step) how to get VMWare on Ubuntu 8.10 Guest OS tools, you can consult the following links:

I created a small tutorial here:

http://communities.VMware.com/message/1129103#1129103

A post of Mufasa in this link helped as well:

http://communities.VMware.com/message/887802#887802

This link was very helpful as well:

http://laurentbois.com/2008/04/26/install-Ubuntu-804-using-VMware-Fusion-on-Mac-OS-x/

The single link that has helped him further was found here on the Ubuntu forums:

http://UbuntuForums.org/showthread.php?t=987631

Keep in mind that if you run an x 86 (32-bit) version of Ubuntu 8.10, then the files that you need to download and use are different than the instructions on the Ubuntu forums. So look over the instructions on the Ubuntu forums (if you use a 64 bit version of the guest operating system Ubuntu 8.10), but if you install VMWare Tools on a 32-bit version of the guest operating system Ubuntu and then followed the first link at the top of this post or the link here below:

http://communities.VMware.com/message/1129103#1129103

This should be enough to help you (step by step) get the VMWare Tools installed and running on the operating system Ubuntu 8.10 guest (32-bit or 64-bit).

Mark

P.S. to the extent where, I hope that you find that the links provided above helps as a solution. Please post back with your results and please allow the "right answer" points to the right solution accordingly. Thank you! (I hope that I could actually get my FIRST 'right answer' all points of a poster, yippie!) Or at least partial marks for a response "useful". Ignore anything. If the links above and the tutorial I created above help resolve your issue/problem, then close the question as answered and assign points. Even the 'useful' and 'good answer' points are good. Thank you!
