You could also use the Sourceforge download and pass --without-procps to configure. Doing that will cause some code in vmware-guestd to be skipped, but that doesn't matter at all to Fusion. > It seemed to work fine and shows up in "dkms status"... > but I still get "VMware Tools is not installed." and > copy/paste does not work. Should it? Can you verify that vmware-guestd is running? The UI's Tools status notification comes from messages sent by vmware-guestd. Are you using a console or are you within an X11 session?
