最近由于需要在WINDOWS下装了一个Fredora core 6,但是安装VMTOOLS的时候就是提示 “What is localtion of dirertory of C header files that match your running kernels?[usr/src/linux/include]”,于是我就使用ls -d /usr/src/kernels/$(uname -r)*/include,去查找内核所运行的所需C头文件所在的目录,看了一下,发现在/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6-i586/include,于是我就在[usr/src/linux/include] /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6-i586/include,一敲回车,但是还是不行。后来通过Goole了一下,可能是由于自己的VMware station版本太低了(我的当期版本是5.0),换了一个5.3还是不行,后来找了一个6.0终于搞定的。当然了,你也可以在联网的方式下通过apt去获取高版本。但是如果以前安装VMTOOLS的低版本应该删除下,才能进行安装你6.0版本的VMTOOLS,否则会报错。
     下面把安装VMTOOLS的几个过程给大家介绍,当然安装方法网上也多了去了,这里我用简易明了的方法给大家展示。

VMware station Version 6.0以上版本,Fedora core 6.

重启后,然后在WINDOWS下设定一个共享文件夹。比如:D:\SHARE,将SHARE文件夹设为共享。
然后选择【虚拟机】->【设置】出现如下对话框:

点击【添加(A)】->【Next】->取一个名字,选路经 ->【Next】->【Finsh】

[root@localhost ~]cd /mnt/hgfs/share
[root@localhost ~]ls
#现在就可以看到WINDOWS下的SHARE那个文件夹下的文件了。

这样就可以很方便的访问WINDOWS下的文件了。
