Bug Description
When I tried to build Android source code, I need to execute the command line below.
And I always get the log that shows I didn't set up open-vm-tools sucessfully.
What should I do?
I am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

I am using VMware Workstation 11.0.0 build-2305329 on Windows 7 as a host.
And Ubuntu is opened as a client in VMware Workstation.
I wonder whether the VMware Tools that is accompanied by VMware Workstation has something with this open-vm-tools issue.
Any help would be appreciated.
