I downloaded current version of VMWare Player. I have kernel 3.7. When starting, it asked me to tell where the kernel was located.
So Vmware kernel modules did not compile.

The solution was to add a symbolic link to version.h:

sudo ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-3.7.0-7-generic/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h /usr/src/linux-headers-3.7.0-7-generic/include/linux/version.h

then I run

sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

Then it compiled
