I got past this (stuck elsewhere but that's another issue).  For anyone else 
who has this issue:

VMware forum: 
http://kb.vmware.com/vmtnkb/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=VMTN-F219-T41713-M434746&sliceId=M434746&dialogID=9449162&stateId=0%200%209441841&doctag=Forum%20Posts

I changed references to linux/version.h

"A somewhat cleaner solution is to edit vmware-config-tools.pl - go to 
check_answer_headerdir() line 1293 (in my version), change references to 
linux/version.h to linux/utsrelease.h "

Thanks.
