to enable this feature? [yes]

The vmblock enables dragging or copying files between host and guest in a
Fusion or Workstation virtual environment. Do you wish to enable this feature?
[yes]
!!! [EXPERIMENTAL] !!!
VMware automatic kernel modules enables automatic building and installation of
VMware kernel modules at boot that are not already present. By selecting yes,
you will be enabling this experimental feature. You can always disable this
feature by re-running vmware-config-tools.pl.
Would you like to enable VMware automatic kernel modules?
[no]
Thinprint provides driver-free printing. Do you wish to enable this feature?
[no]
Disabling timer-based audio scheduling in pulseaudio.
Detected X server version 1.11.4
Distribution provided drivers for Xorg X server are used.
Skipping X configuration because X drivers are not included.

Por favor, note que há uma pergunta "O Sistema de Arquivos VMware Host-Guest permite pastas compartilhadas [yes]", então o hgfs.ko é instalado e a instalação do vmxnet.ko segue normalmente.
Aqui está um log que eu recebo no Fedora 18
The VMware Host-Guest Filesystem allows for shared folders between the host OS
and the guest OS in a Fusion or Workstation virtual environment. Do you wish
to enable this feature? [yes]
Before you can compile modules, you need to have the following installed...
make gcc
kernel headers of the running kernel
Searching for GCC...
Detected GCC binary at "/bin/gcc".
The path "/bin/gcc" appears to be a valid path to the gcc binary.
Would you like to change it? [no]
Searching for a valid kernel header path...
Detected the kernel headers at
"/lib/modules/3.9.4-200.fc18.x86_64/build/include".
The path "/lib/modules/3.9.4-200.fc18.x86_64/build/include" appears to be a

Eu também tentei o open-vm-tools recipie . Mas,
[root@localhost Documents]# mount -t vmhgfs .host:/ /mnt/hgfs
Error: cannot mount filesystem: No such device
Eu não sei onde está o site de suporte da vm-tools.

Eu verifiquei e o vmxnet3 está instalado por configure_module('vmxnet3') in vmware-config-tools.pl . Não alcança configure_module('vmhgfs') porque
# vmhgfs now depends on vmci. Check to ensure it's configured.
if (defined(db_get_answer_if_exists('VMCI_CONFED')) &&
db_get_answer('VMCI_CONFED') ne 'yes') {
return 1;
}
silenciosamente "protege" a chamada de nossas necessidades. Posso dizer que db_get_answer_if_exists('VMCI_CONFED')) = 1, db_get_answer('VMCI_CONFED') = 'no' e aviso
The module vmci has already been installed on this system by another installer or package and will not be modified by this installer. Use the flag --clobber-kernel-modules=vmci to override.
no log acima.
Iniciando o sinalizador de substituição vmware-config-tools.pl com vmci,
vmware-config-tools.pl --clobber-kernel-modules=vmci
O problema desapareceu. Agora, estou recebendo outro
/modconfig-o4Yd7O/vmhgfs-only/inode.c: In function ‘HgfsTruncatePages’:
/tmp/modconfig-o4Yd7O/vmhgfs-only/inode.c:888:4: error: implicit declaration of function ‘vmtruncate’
erro. Mas, é outra questão e eu vejo isso (ainda, eu corrigi-lo também com a ajuda de este patch ).
