Problems installing vmware-tools on ubuntu

$

Hi,

 

I've been triying to instal vmware-tools-4.0.0 on ubuntu server 12.04.4 LTS kernel version  3.11.0-15-generic.

 

During the configuration I have many problems to define the C heders path (see bellow):

 

Use of uninitialized value $autoconf_location in string eq at /usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl line 3455, <STDIN> line 5.

The path "/usr/src/linux-headers-3.11.0-15-generic/include/generated/uapi" is a

kernel header file directory, but it does not contain the file

"linux/autoconf.h" or "generated/autoconf.h" as expected.This can happen if the

kernel has never been built, or if you have invoked the "make mrproper" command

in your kernel directory.  In any case, you may want to rebuild your kernel.

 

 

 

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running

kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] /usr/src/linux-headers-3.11.0-15

 

 

The path "/usr/src/linux-headers-3.11.0-15" is an existing directory, but it

does not contain a "linux" subdirectory as expected.

 

 

 

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running

kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] /usr/src/linux-headers-3.11.0-15/include

 

 

 

The path "/usr/src/linux-headers-3.11.0-15/include" is a kernel header file

directory, but it does not contain the file "linux/version.h" as expected.

 

This can happen if the kernel has never been built, or if you have invoked the

"make mrproper" command in your kernel directory.  In any case, you may want to

rebuild your kernel.

 

 

I would like to know if this vmware tool has a compatibility problem whit this kernel version. what do you recomend to solve this??

 

thank you in advance
