How to install VMware Tools Suse Linux Enterprise 11


Hi at all,

I have windows as host OS an I have installed VMware workstation 9.0 on it.

As operating system guest I have installed linux CentOS distro and Suse Linux Enterprise 11 distro Teradata Express.

On VMware also I have installed VMware Tools utility, simply through the following steps: menu bar --> VM --> Install VMWare Tools.

Now, on CentOS distro, the copy & paste utility works fine!!!

In Suse Linux Enterprise 11 the copy & paste utility does not works at all!

I get message like this: "mount the virtual cd drive, launch a Terminal, and use tar to uncompress the installer. Then, execute vmware-install.pl to install VMWare Tools."

Can anyone help me where I can find the vmware-install.pl file?

What it is saying is that when you try to add in tools, a cd image is mounted to the vm. The clients don't always mount the cd and let you access the tools. So, mount the presented cd, (I copy the files to client) use some method to un-archive the data to some place. Then sudo ./vmware.....
