Problem
升級 Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (內核 2.6.32) 後嘗試重新編譯 VMware Tools 卻發生如下的問題:
When OS kernel upgrade into Linux 2.6.32 (like Ubuntu 10.04 LTS), compiling VMware Tools will occur some problems like the below:
CC [M] /tmp/vmware-config1/vmci-only/vmciQueuePair.o
In file included from /tmp/vmware-config1/vmci-only/vmci_queue_pair.h:36,

......
vmci 模組無法編譯成功，也無法載入至系統，更新失敗。
And vmci module will not be load into system.
Solution
1. cd /usr/lib/vmware-tools/modules/source
2. tar xvf vmci.tar (Extract it)
3. mv vmci.tar vmci.tar.bak (Backup)
4. cd vmci-only
5. vi pgtbl.h (Patch pgtbl.h)

把 #include "compat_sched.h" 加在 #include "compat_page.h" 後面一行。存檔離開。
Add "#include "compat_sched.h"" after "#include "compat_page.h"" and save. Quit.
6. vi Makefile (Patch Makefile)

找到這行
Replace this line:
$(EXTRA_CFLAGS) -Iinclude2/asm/mach-default \取代成
With:
$(EXTRA_CFLAGS) -I$(HEADER_DIR) -Iinclude2/asm/mach-default \一樣存檔退出。
Then save and quit.
7. cd .. (Quit this folder)
8. tar cvf vmci.tar vmci-only/ (Repack the source)
9. rm vmci-only -r (Delete the entire folder)
10. /usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl (Re-run config tool to recompile modules)
重新執行之後應該就可以順利編譯成功並載入至系統，檢查看看是否載入:
Alter all, check if these modules are loaded perfectly:
$ lsmod|grep "^v" vsock 38646 0 vmmemctl 8768 0 vmxnet 15992 0 vga16fb 12757 1 vgastate 9857 1 vga16fb vmci 29828 1 vsock <-- Here, good vmw_pvscsi 15744 0 vmxnet3 30709 0
