As far as I know, you can build them, you just need devel series installed.
At least in vmware workstation you do
VM->Install Guest Additions
and mount the virtual cdrom
mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom
tar xvf /mnt/cdrom/VMware*
cd vmware-tools-distrib
./vmware-install.pl

Searching for a valid kernel header path...
The path "" is not a valid path to the 2.6.39.4-smp kernel headers.
Would you like to change it? [yes]
Enter the path to the kernel header files for the 2.6.39.4-smp kernel? /usr/include
The path "/usr/include" is not a valid path to the 2.6.39.4-smp kernel headers.
Would you like to change it? [yes]
=>
root@xenya:~/vmware-tools-distrib# slapt-get --search header
attr-2.4.45-x86_64-1 [inst=yes]: attr (tools for using extended attributes on filesystems)
cryptsetup-1.2.0-x86_64-1 [inst=yes]: cryptsetup (utility for setting up encrypted filesystems)
glibc-2.14.1-x86_64-1sms [inst=yes]: glibc (GNU C libraries)
iptables-1.4.11.1-x86_64-1sms [inst=yes]: iptables (IP packet filter administration)
kernel-headers-2.6.39.4_smp-x86-1sms [inst=yes]: kernel-headers (Linux kernel include files)
lesstif-0.95.2-x86_64-1 [inst=yes]: lesstif (a free replacement for OSF/Motif(R))
spamassassin-3.3.2-x86_64-1sms [inst=yes]: SpamAssassin
swig-1.3.38-x86_64-2 [inst=no]: swig (Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator)
what is the problem?  |

You can try kernel modules, I created, I hope you are running 32bit kernel.
http://sms.it-ccs.com/isos/SMS.Native.CD/extra/vmware/vmware_kernel_modules-8.6-i486-1sms.txz
| Code: | lib/modules/2.6.39.4-smp/misc/misc/vmsync.ko
lib/modules/2.6.39.4-smp/misc/misc/vmci.ko
lib/modules/2.6.39.4-smp/misc/misc/vsock.ko
lib/modules/2.6.39.4-smp/misc/misc/vmhgfs.ko
lib/modules/2.6.39.4-smp/misc/misc/vmxnet.ko
lib/modules/2.6.39.4-smp/misc/misc/vmblock.ko |
And here are the patched files and needed headers to build from source.

| Thanks, but unfortunately I use x64. I tried also to the proposed site, but unfortunately it is later stuck during installation. |

Ignore backtrack site, is old...
Have you used patched sources to compile yours?
I'll compile x64 modules to check.

I receive this error:

The configuration of VMware Tools 8.6.0 build-425873 for Linux for this running

You must restart your X session before any mouse or graphics changes take

You can now run VMware Tools by invoking "/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox-cmd" from the
command line or by invoking "/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox" from the command line
during an X server session.
To enable advanced X features (e.g., guest resolution fit, drag and drop, and
file and text copy/paste), you will need to do one (or more) of the following:
1. Manually start /usr/bin/vmware-user
2. Log out and log back into your desktop session; and,
3. Restart your X session.
Enjoy,

Did you compile from source or did you use ready kernel modules?
I built modules, from native installation and not vmware machine, and I don't know if that is causing problems.
If you didn't compile from source, just replace sources and give it a try, just run vmware-config-tools.pl once you replace sources and vmware-config-tools.pl
re download if you haven't already.

Other modules work, or it's a vmwgfx issue only?
