Me parecio interesante y necesario instalar el vmWare tools porque sin hacerlo, la pantalla no alcanza resoluciones mas alla de 800x600 o 640x320, entonces trabajar en un ambiente asi es bastante molesto, aparte se habilitan ciertas otras cosas como copy/paste entre la maquina host y el guest, bueno para no alargar el cuento aqui va el proceso... Primero instalar el compilador de c, pondre los comentarios de esta manera /* */
para que no haya confusiones
/*Primero intente instalar el compilador de C*/
[Jams@localhost ~]$ yum install gcc gcc-c++ autoconf automake
You need to be root to perform this command.
