Perhaps I'll be called on this volkerbradle for repetition but since you have already tried to install vmware on 13.10 and I don't see this stuff in the thread here goes. ( # is the prompt for root execution -pardon if you know this)
1) Completely remove vmware
Back up any VMs of course. Then
# /usr/bin/vmware-installer -u vmware-workstation
# rm -rf /etc/vmware*
#rm -rf /usr/bin/vm*
This below will remove Shared VMs so back them up firs if you have some)
#rm -rf /usr/lib/vmware*
#rm -fr /var/run/vm*
#rm -fr /var/log/vmware*
#rm -fr /tmp/vmware*
Other commands exist in your home directory but you can omit them if you wish.
2) Run the patch and scripts from Archlinux
$ cd /tmp
$ curl -O http://pkgbuild.com/git/aur-mirror.git/plain/vmware-patch/vmblock-9.0.2-5.0.2-3.10.patch
$ curl -O http://pkgbuild.com/git/aur-mirror.git/plain/vmware-patch/vmnet-9.0.2-5.0.2-3.10.patch
$ cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source
# tar -xvf vmblock.tar
# tar -xvf vmnet.tar
# patch -p0 -i /tmp/vmblock-9.0.2-5.0.2-3.10.patch
# patch -p0 -i /tmp/vmnet-9.0.2-5.0.2-3.10.patch
# tar -cf vmblock.tar vmblock-only
# tar -cf vmnet.tar vmnet-only
# rm -r vmblock-only
# rm -r vmnet-only
# vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
If all goes well VMware should compile and start without error. It always has for me - certainly for Ubuntu hosts. In fact it actually works for me using a 3.11 kernel.!
Let us know if these steps work or you have tried and succeeded with another solution.
