Shared Folders Error in 13.04 - VMware Tools 9.2.3 - vmhgfs problem
After installing VMware Tools without a problem, when I run the vmware-
Since the driver is not loaded, the Shared Folders option does not work. Any ideas how to solve this problem?
(There are no problems when running Ubuntu 12.04 or 12.10 in the same setup of Vmplayer 5.02 with Vmware Tools 9.2.3.)

The filesystem driver (vmhgfs module) is used only for the shared folder
feature. The rest of the software provided by VMware Tools is designed to work

running vmware-
and the kernel sources for your running kernel are installed on your machine.
These packages are available on your distribution's installation CD.
