I can't install VMware Tools because Setup is unable to find the "killall" program.


Hi,

I executed vmware-install.pl file in vmware-tools-distrib directory.

[code]
# ./vmware-install.pl

Setup is unable to find the "killall" program on your machine. Please make sure it is installed. Do you want to specify the location of this program by hand? [yes]

What is the "killall" program?
And How can I install VMware Tools.



linux distribution: Debian Linux
kernel version: 2.6.26-2-686
vmware version: 5.5.9

Quote:
killall sends a signal to all processes running any of the specified commands. If no signal name is specified, SIGTERM is sent.

Signals can be specified either by name (e.g. -HUP) or by number (e.g. -1).
Just install that package to satisfy Setup.
