Hi,
cant install Workstation 9.0.2 on Ubuntu 13.10.
I get the follow output:

after install I applied patches for 3.10 and 3.11 from http://mysticalzero.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/vmblock-patch-for-linux-311-rc1-vmware.html
but after running sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all i get the output you can see in the attached vmware-modconfig.log.
Looks like vmnet-only and vmblock cant be compiled:
