在 VMWare的Debian安装虚拟工具，碰到了一个问题：

What is the location of the gcc program on your machine?

The path "" is not valid path to the gcc binary.
Would you like to change it? [yes]

我马上想到是没有gcc

于是 apt-get install gcc

结果还是不行，网上找了找，发现其它发行版也可能会碰到这个问题。

原来只安装gcc还是不够的，还需要

linuxsight@linuxsight:~$ uname -r
2.6.32-5-686

linuxsight@linuxsight:~$aptitude install  linux-headers-2.6.32-5-686

选中了曾被取消选择的软件包 linux-kbuild-2.6.32。

最后再一次

root@linuxsight:/home/linuxsight# cd vmware-tools-distrib/
root@linuxsight:/home/linuxsight/vmware-tools-distrib# ls
bin  doc  etc  FILES  INSTALL  installer  lib  vmware-install.pl
root@linuxsight:/home/linuxsight/vmware-tools-distrib# ./vmware-install.pl

 终于成功了
