The problem lies in the output of uname -r:
root@wheezy:~# uname -r
3.2.0-4-686-pae
root@jessie:~# uname -r
3.11-2-686-pae
get_version_integer expects a version like "v1 dot v2 dot v3" from "uname -r".
So a quick'n'dirty fix for the current jessie kernel 3.11.8-1 is:
root@jessie:/etc/init.d# diff vmware-tools.orig vmware-tools
846c846,847
< version_uts=`uname -r`
---
> #version_uts=`uname -r`
> version_uts="3.11.8-1-686-pae"
But the new kernel version format also causes problems in vmware-config-
tools.pl so currently i am unable to compile the vm* kernel modules.
