Found this and I think it works (visitors just arrived so not fully tested)
Installation completed without errors after following this...

From my point of view, VMware has really lost the plot in keeping up
with new kernels etc.
The vmware-any-any patches have fragmented into individual efforts and
it was just a nightmare to get working on any "current" kernel.
Just use KVM - its absolutely stunning. Drawback is you need a CPU
with VMX, and not all current CPUs have it yet.
