FC5安装VMware全过程

来源: LUPA开源社区

首先是安装必要的软件


Code:
[root@netyang ~]# yum -y install gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel
[Ctrl+A Select All]


然后更新kernel


Code:
[root@netyang ~]# yum -y update kernel
[Ctrl+A Select All]


检查一下


Code:
[root@netyang `]# rpm -qa | grep kernel kernel-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 kernel-2.6.16-1.2080_FC5 kernel-devel-2.6.16-1.2080_FC5
[Ctrl+A Select All]



下载VMware-any-any-update*(99-101)都可以。VMware-workstation-5.5.1-19175.tar.gz
全部放入/tmp中备用


Code:
[root@netyang tmp] tar zxvf VMware-workstation-5.5.1-19175.tar.gz [root@netyang tmp]#cd vmware-distrib [root@netyang vmware-distrib]# ls bin doc etc FILES installer lib man vmware-install.pl [root@netyang vmware-distrib]# ./vmware-install.pl
[Ctrl+A Select All]

Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.

None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Workstation is suitable for your
running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for
your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes]

Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override.

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]

The path "/usr/src/linux/include" is not an existing directory.

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]

(我想大多数的人都卡在了这一步上来了。哈哈，我也是，被玩了三四天了。其实解决的方法非常简单）

[root@netyang vmware-distrib]#reboot
重启后看启动的选择菜单多出了一项
Fedora Core (2.6.16-1.2080_FC5)
Fedora Core 5 (2.6.15-1.2054_FC5)
选后面是2.6.16j-1.2080_FC5)那一项



Code:
[root@netyang ~]#cd /tmp [root@netyang ~]#tar zxvf vmware-any-any-update101.tar.gz [root@netyang ~]#cd vmware-any-any-update101
[Ctrl+A Select All]



[root@netyang vmware-any-any-update101]# ./runme.pl

哈哈，通过完成。其他的都选默认就可以了。
