Permission denied message when installing vmtools
-bash: ./vmware-install.pl: /usr/bin/perl: bad interpreter: Permission denied
When installing vmtools on a linux machine inside the /tmp directory, got this error:
./vmware-install.pl: /usr/bin/perl: bad interpreter: Permission denied
Then looked at tmp for permissions:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Mar 6 11:13 vmware-install.pl
It seems ok but if /etc/fstab has noexec option like:
LABEL=/tmp /tmp ext3 nosuid,noexec,nodev 1 2
Changed with this one, reboot and remount again:
LABEL=/tmp /tmp ext3 defaults 1 2
nano /etc/fstab
Change like this LABEL=/tmp /tmp ext3 defaults 1 2
reboot
retry
