You know perfectly well that it takes ages for vmware to change things. But everything that the steps you posted will create is already present in the directory I mentioned. Just pass the script the right directory.
There are third party scripts that help make the badly written vmware config script to run. But the one I use doesn't work with 11.3, I believe. <http://radu.cotescu.com/2010/01/19/how-to-install-vmware-server-ubuntu-fedora-opensuse/>
Which is why I stopped using it years ago. I now use VirtualBox for my needs and find it much easier to use and more user friendly.
