Well, I've managed to get it work without any command line magic.
I used the bundle version, which is a graphical installer for the
vmware 6.5. It didn't ask me about compiling anything. Of course,
I had an old vmware installation on my system. Maybe the new version
just used the kernel modules which the old version had compiled.

Good hunting,
