I don't know what vmware is trying to do. Seems that it successfully open the version.h file, them moved on probing the directories. This is where I lost. What the code is trying to do?
Ok, found a log at /tmp/vmware-root/setup-26614.log

Apparently the code was trying to "find a suitable PBM set" What is that?
My guess would be for PBM = "pre-built modules". Which obviously VMware won't provide for the grml kernel, so all vmware modules must be built from source on your machine.
