I ran into this as well. Read through the entire other thread but didn’t find an answer, so I figured it out on my own. I wanted to paste here since I couldnt find the answer anywhere else online. In short, the error “Guest memory manager: failed”<\/strong> occurs when the config script is trying to load the module vmmemctl.ko<\/strong>. However, i could never get it to create this module or use the binary module.<\/p>\n

– Be sure that you have the entire FreeBSD kernel source when installing the vmware-freebsd-tools.tar.gz<\/strong>. If you don’t have them, use sysinstall<\/strong> to put them on!<\/p>\n

– Get vmmemctl.tar<\/strong>. If you chose the standard paths, it will be at \/usr\/local\/lib\/vmware-tools\/modules\/source\/vmmemctl.tar<\/strong>. Copy it to a temporary location<\/p>\n

\n

– It’s easier to just type commands instead of explaining them:<\/p>\n

cp \/usr\/local\/lib\/vmware-tools\/modules\/source\/vmmemctl.tar \/tmp<\/p>\n

cd \/tmp<\/p>\n

tar -zxf vmmemctl.tar<\/p>\n

cd \/tmp\/vmmemctl-only<\/p>\n

make<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

– This will give you a vmmemctl.ko<\/strong> file<\/p>\n

– Do NOT run make install<\/strong> at this point as the README suggests. The Makefile is coded to cp vmmemctl.ko to \/modules, which won’t exist on a stock install. This instead makes it copy vmmemctl.ko to a FILE called \/modules. Instead manually copy vmmemctl.ko to \/boot\/kernel:<\/p>\n

cp vmmemctl.ko \/boot\/kernel<\/p>\n

– you can now use kldload<\/strong> to load this module if you’d like, or just re-run \/usr\/local\/bin\/vmware-config-tools.pl<\/strong> and it will do this for you.<\/p>\n
