I followed exactly the case "Installing vm tools on a Ubuntu guest" from this official page. And under usr/src/open-vm-tools-2010.06.16 I have a bunch of folders vmblock, vmci, etc.., so it seems things went ok. Yet after reboot of the vm the tools don't seem to be installed. An the command vmware-tooldoes not work.

Thanks

After installation, VMware tools has to be run manually. If you want to run it automatically then follow the instructions on this location.
