I did try to install the VMware Tools installer before trying the packaged
open-vm-tools from Ubuntu. I also tried other's suggestions to place the
open-vm-tools tarballs into the VMWare distributi9on. There is likely some

I am recompiling the modules using the vmware-config-tools.pl script.
Clearly this looks to be VMWare proprietary. I have just uninstalled the
vmware packages and am going to try the compile from the open-vm-source
provided by Ubuntu.
