Hi,
I am using ESXi 4.1 and installed a linux with kernel = 2.6.36.4.
I am not familiar with linux and this linux is build by some company for
specific usage, so I have no idea what it is and only know it should be related
to debian since cuold install*.deb packages.
I download open-vm-tools-2011.02.23-368700.tar.gz and do following things,
could any of you kindly help check what is wrong I did? Many thanks
1. Installed some packaged needed:
1.1 installed gcc-4.1-base_4.1.2-25_i386, cpp-4.1_4.1.2-25_i386
and gcc-4.1_4.1.2-25_i386
1.2 ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-4.1 /usr/bin/gcc
1.3 mkdir /usr/ccs/lib, ln -s /usr/bin/cpp-4.1 /usr/ccs/lib/cpp
2. installed make package
2.1 download from http://packages.debian.org/lenny/make
2.2
run ./configure
./build
./make
./make install
3. Installed more packages:
3.1 installed libglib2.0-0-dbg_2.16.6-3_i386.deb
3.2 install libgtk2.0-dev_2.12.12-1~lenny2_i386.deb
3.3 install linux-headers-`uname -r`, copy include/linux, asm to /usr/include,
copy /usr/src/2.6.36.4/* to /lib/modules/2.6.36.4/bould/include
4. install open-vmware-tool
4.1 ./configure --without-x --without-dnet --without-icu
4.2 make, got error on makefile.normal not found
4.3 goto ../modules/linux/.., vi Makefile, change BUILD_DIR = $(HEADER_DIR)/..
to BUILD_DIR = $(HEADER_DIR), make again, no error
4.4 make install, no error shown
After installation, no /etc/rc.d on my linux, no open-vm-tool files on this
linux
lsmod | grep vm, show nothing
seems installation not succeed.
What can I do in this situation?
Regards,
Iray
