Yeah, as a matter of fact it fails building, what I mean is that I have been
running the same kernel with vmware for quite a few weeks now. Something else
just caused it to die unexpectedly.
When compiling the vmware mods this happens:

There is probably a light difference of kernel configuration between the set
of
C header files you specified and your running kernel. You may want to rebuild
a
kernel based on that directory, or specify another directory.
