解决办法：
1.将VMwareTools- 8.1.4-227600.tar.gz文件复制到`/software/文件夹下面
2.安装VMwareTools:
[root@localhost tian]#tar xzxf VMwareTools-8.1.4-227600.tar.gz
[root@localhost tian]# cd vmware-tools-distrib/
[root@localhost tian]#./vmware-install.pl

The installation of VMware Tools 8.1.4 build-227600 for Linux completed
successfully. You can decide to remove this software from your system at any
time by invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-uninstall-tools.pl".
Before running VMware Tools for the first time, you need to configure it by
invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl". Do you want

Searching for a valid kernel header path...
The path "" is not valid.
Would you like to change it? [yes]
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel?
3.下载相应的kernel-devel.rpm包进行安装
Fedora13 Alpha版本内核版本为：
2.6.33-0.52.rc8.git6.fc13.i686.PAE
其下载地址为：
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/releases/test/13-Alpha/Fedora/i386/os/Packages/kernel-devel-2.6.33-0.52.rc8.git6.fc13.i686.rpm
注：不同的版本可在此网站找到相应的文件。
----- 如果网络畅通,可以 运行 [ yum -y install kernel-devel ],进行安装就6M,很快
package kernel-devel is not installed
[root@localhost tian]#rpm -ivh ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/releases/test/13-Alpha/Fedora/i386/os/Packages/kernel-devel-2.6.33-0.52.rc8.git6.fc13.i686.rpm
[root@localhost tian]#rpm -q kernel-devel
[root@localhost tian]#kernel-devel-2.6.33-0.52
提示：安装完kernel-devel后重启一下计算机，因为此时的系统检测的内核仍为启动时的内核版本。
4.重新运行VMware的配置文件
说明：
在VMware上安装CentOS也遇到这个问题“What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel?”
按照上述方案，只需运行命令“yum -y install kernel-devel” ，安装 “kernel-devel ” 即可。。。
另外，CentOS桌面型安装默认情况下是没有安装编译器gcc，同理，我们可以用运行命令“yum -y install gcc” 在线安装即可。
