uname -a
is returning the right version 3.2.0-30-generic however the vmware tools script is complaining.
Solution to create a couple of symlinks
ln -s /lib/modules/3.2.0-30-generic/build/include/generated/utsrelease.h /lib/modules/3.2.0-30-generic/build/include/linux/utsrelease.h ln -s /lib/modules/3.2.0-30-generic/build/include/generated/autoconf.h /lib/modules/3.2.0-30-generic/build/include/linux/autoconf.h
Then run the vmware perl script again
/vmware-install.pl
