Hi Guys,
I'm a bit of a noob with Linux, and would appreciate some help.
I've installed Android 9 on VMware, and have extracted VMware Tools, ready to install. I've also installed Perl, which was required (I believe) to execute the .pl installation script.
When I attempt to install using "Perl /mnt/tmp/vmware-install.pl" I get an error saying it can't find lsmod, and wants me to specify the directory to continue install.
I know lsmod lives at /sbin (which I can only access as a root user), however when I try and specify /sbin/lsmod or /sbin it says it's not a valid directory and needs the full name of the binary.
Do I need to specify something else in the path?
OR Is it possible that when executing Perl, it doesn't know that I'm root, so can't find the location?
Alternatively, could I resolve this by setting an environment variable for lsmod (path to the location?)
Thanks heaps.
