i installed ubuntumate 15.04 and im trying to install the bundle VMware-Workstation-Full-11.1.0-2496824.x86_64.bundle
im a bit confused if there is something that i didn't do so i put this as a question and not in bugs.
first step is ok, however when i run the workstation it was saying that it couldn't find version.h file and i executed
sudo ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-3.19.0-9-generic/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h /lib/modules/3.19.0-9-generic/build/include/linux/version.h
now i get this... (!)

dowgrading the bundle from vmware site to 11.0.0 gives exactly the same errors.
removing kernel 3.19 and using 3.18 everything is working fine.
