背景：用vmware workstation 6.0 安装的是带xwindow的debian
(1)检查有没有安装gcc
可以通过which gcc或者whereis gcc查看。发现已安装
(2)安装内核头文件
内核头文件默认是会安装到/usr/src目录下。ls /usr/src查看发现目录为空，即没有安装。

(3)开始安装vmware tools
从debian切出进windows，摁ctrl＋alt
反之，直接鼠标点debian界面就行了
菜单VM-install vmware tools
su到超级用户
#umount /cdrom
#unount /mnt
#mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/
#ls /mnt
会看到有Vmwaretools的.rpm和.tar.gz的包

Thank you for having tried this software.
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]
What is the directory that contains the init scripts?
[/etc/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]
In which directory do you want to install the documentation files?
[/usr/share/doc/vmware-tools]
The path "/usr/share/doc/vmware-tools" does not exist currently. This program
is going to create it, including needed parent directories. Is this what you
want? [yes]
The installation of VMware Tools 6.0.0 build-45731 for Linux completed
successfully. You can decide to remove this software from your system at any
time by invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-uninstall-tools.pl".
Before running VMware Tools for the first time, you need to configure it by
invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl". Do you want
this program to invoke the command for you now? [yes] no
Enjoy,

Trying to find a suitable vmmemctl module for your running kernel.
None of the pre-built vmmemctl modules for VMware Tools is suitable for your
running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmemctl 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] /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.17-2-686/include 【注意这里！】
