As the topic says, there are compile errors with myvmware fusion tools since hard.
Its kubuntu 64bit hardy, fresh install of a beta4 with all updates.
Here's the log:

Trying to find a suitable vmmemctl module for your running kernel.
None of the pre-built vmmemctl modules for VMware Tools is suitable for your
running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmemctl module

[yes]

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/lib/modules/

Unable to build the vmmemctl module.
The memory manager driver (vmmemctl module) is used by VMware host software to
efficiently reclaim memory from a virtual machine.
If the driver is not available, VMware host software may instead need to swap
guest memory to disk, which may reduce performance.
The rest of the software provided by VMware Tools is designed to work
independently of this feature.
If you want the memory management feature, you can install the driver by
running vmware-
and the kernel sources for your running kernel are installed on your machine.
These packages are available on your distribution's installation CD.

The filesystem driver (vmhgfs module) is used only for the shared folder
feature. The rest of the software provided by VMware Tools is designed to work
independently of this feature.
If you wish to have the shared folders feature, you can install the driver by
running vmware-

The vmblock module enables dragging or copying files from within a host and
dropping or pasting them onto your guest (host to guest drag and drop and file
copy/paste). The rest of the software provided by VMware Tools is designed to
work independently of this feature (including guest to host drag and drop and
file copy/paste).
If you would like the host to guest drag and drop and file copy/paste features,
you can install the driver by running vmware-
sure that gcc, binutils, make and the kernel sources for your running kernel
are installed on your machine. These packages are available on your
distribution's installation CD.

[EXPERIMENTAL] The Virtual Machine Communication Interface (VMCI) service
provides a new communication capability with the Host, primarily for
development at the moment. Would you like to enable this feature? [no]
