ubuntu 8.04 and vmware

as many person reported, there is a bug when you trying to install vmware-tools for your ubuntu guest system (i assumed that the host is win32)

 

vmware-tools will report /linux/string.h "rinxx.h" is redefined. this bug will cause the share-folder features is disable.

 

the simplest way to resolve this problem is as follow:

1. down open-vm-tools

2. extract it, find vmhgfs folder in /modules/linux , rename it as vmhgfs-only and tar it.

3. replace the original vmhgfs.tar in /vmware-tools/modules/linux/source with the new one

4. run ./vmware-install.pl
