hi folks!

i’ve had a problem with java, netbeans and my ubuntu 9.04 x86_64 system. so, i’ve decided to start my vmware and install a 32bit system – facing another problem: vmware-tools, in particular the mouse and filesharing.

searching for solutions on the web, i found those two sites:
http://www.csi-labor.de/archives/52-Howto-Vmware-Tools-Installation-unter-Ubuntu-9.04.html
http://communities.vmware.com/thread/207410

in short: you have to patch the vmhgfs module and if you are using the gcc-4.3 also the vmware-config-tools.pl script. everything else please read by yourself.

wish you happy compiling 😉
