I am using VMWare Reader v-5.0.2 and the associated VMWare Tools with
both Debian v-7.1.0 and Debian Testing (different VMWare Reader
directories, of course) installed on my 64 bit Windows 7 laptop as
testbeds before making any changes to my Linux production machine.
In the case of Debian 7.1.0 the vmware tools installed without any problems.
Unfortunately, this was not the case with Debian Testing. the tools
installed without any problems, but when the installer ran
/usr/bin/ware/vmware.config.tools.pl there were errors:
Starting VMware Tools services in the virtual machine:
Switching to guest configuration:[71G done
/etc/init.d/vmware-tools: 1090: local: ': bad variable name
/etc/init.d/vmware-tools: 1090: local: ': bad variable name
Blocking file system:[71Gfailed
/etc/init.d/vmware-tools: 1187: local: ': bad variable name
Guest operating system daemon:[71G done
Unable to start services for VMware Tools
The lines in question are:
1090 local run_kver=`get_version_integer`
and
1187 local run_kver=`get_version_integer`
I don't have the faintest idea as to what the error is and would
appreciate any pointers towards a solution.
Thanks in advance.
