    <p>Edit: Remember to read the comments of this question as other users provided more up-to-date and accurate solutions.</p> <p>Okay so what I did was, when it said</p> <pre><code>The path "" is not a valid path to the 3.8.0-19-generic kernel headers. Would you like to cange it? </code></pre> <p>I typed in 'no', so then it stopped the install. I then wrote the</p> <pre><code>usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl </code></pre> <p>command again and it automatically, I think skipped the steps, and it said </p> <pre><code>The configuration of vmware tools 9.2.3 build-1031360 for linux for this running kernel completed successfully. you must restart your X session before any mouse or graphics cahnges can take effect. you can now run vmware tools by invoking "/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox-cmd" from the command line. to enable X features (e.g., guest resolution fit, drag and drop, and file and text copy/pase), you will need to do one (or more) of the following: 1. manually start /usr/bin/vmware-user 2. log out and lokg back into your desktop sessionl and, 3. restart your X session to use the vmxnet driver, restart networking using the following commands: /etc/init.d/networking stop rmmod pcnet32 rmmod vmxnet modprobe vmxnet /etc/init.d/networking start </code></pre> <p>If my VMware tools does not run properly, I will reply back in this post. Also, thanks to the person who voted this down without even replying or telling me why.</p> <p>Okay I started using VMware, works good! I needed to set up a shared drive between my host OS and VM and I needed to run the </p> <pre><code>sudo vmware-config-tools.pl </code></pre> <p>again and in the prompts, it said the path '/usr/bin/gcc' appears valid, the path at 'lib/modules/3.8.0-30-generic/build/include' appears to be valid (if you read my post, if you guys did not do</p> <pre><code>sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic </code></pre> <p>it probably will say 'lib/modules/3.8.0-19-generic/build/include' instead of 'lib/modules/3.8.0-30-generic/build/include'). If you have '-19' and not '-30' and if it DOESN'T work, try running the two commands above and see if it works.</p>
