I am running Ubuntu 13.10 (beta) with Linux Kernel 3.11.0-7 as a Guest OS under VMware Fusion 6.0.0 (1296151) on my Macbook (Mac OS X 10.8.4).
I attempted to install VMware Tools 9.6.0 Build-1294478 and got the following errors during the shared folder configuration compile.
CC [M] /tmp/modconfig-j0IFhU/vmhgfs-only/inode.o
/tmp/modconfig-j0IFhU/vmhgfs-only/inode.c: In function ‘HgfsPermission’:

int dcount = dentry->d_count;

I realise that Ubuntu and the Kernel are not finalised but didn't see this problem until Ubuntu Update-Manager installed the 3.11 Kernel series. Any ideas how to overcome this issue appreciated.
