vmware tools in slackware 13.1 guests

-install linux pam package or create the folder /etc/pam.d to "satisfy" vmware :)

It seems that 2.6.33 places certain files to a different location than the previous kernel versions. A new directory called include/generated contains some header files (utsrelease.h, autoconf.h among others) which vmware tries to locate from a different location (include/linux).
So for a quick fix I created a couple of symlinks to include/generated to satisfy vmware.

> Cd / usr / src / linux / include / linux /
> #ln -sf ../generated/autoconf.h
> #ln-sf .. /generated/utsrelease.h
