在VMware中安装了CentOS 5.5，可是屏幕分辨率只能设置为800X600，在网上搜了解决方法，需要安装VMware Tools，安装的过程中，遇到的问题及其解决的方法，记录如下：
一、VMware Tools在哪里？
先启动CentOS系统，进入到系统后，在VMware Workstation的主菜单，
选择VM，Install VMware Tools，在弹出的对话框中选择install
如果不先启动CentOS系统，Install VMware Tools菜单是灰色的哦。
二、如何安装VMware Tools ?
双击计算机，双击打开CD-ROM驱动器。
将VMware Tools-5.5.3-34685.tar.gz拷贝到桌面。打开终端
[root@localhost ~]#cd Desktop
[root@localhost Desktop]# tar zxvf VMwareTools-5.5.3-34685.tar.gz
[root@localhost Desktop]#cd vmware-tools-distrib
[root@localhost vmware-tools-distrib]#./vmware-install.pl （安装时如果当前用户不是管理员root的话，需要输入su获取管理员权限）
开始安装VMware Tools，一路回车往下走。
配置X windows，输入yes并回车：
Do you want to change your guest X resolution?(yes/no) [no] yes
选择显示屏幕大小，好了，重新启动！
三、遇到的3个问题
问题1：What is the location of the "gcc" program on your machine?
The answer "" is invalid. It must be the complete name of a binary file.
回车，屏幕一直打印该信息，原因是我装系统的时候没安装开发工具。
解决方法：在VMware中插入CentOS的DVD映像，在CentOS系统中点击“应用程序”，添加/删除软件，将“开发”->“开发工具”选中，应用。
问题2：What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]
解决方法：升级 gcc & kernel，使用如下的两个命令
yum -y install gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel
yum -y update kernel
[root@localhost vmware-tools-distrib]# yum -y install gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel
