I found a fix to this problem, thanks to chantra of Debuntu
First, download the patch
wget http://www.debuntu.org/sites/www.debuntu.org/files/vmware-7.1-ubuntu10.10-patch-v2.tar_.gz
Extract and run it as root
tar -xzvf vmware-7.1-ubuntu10.10-patch.tar.gz
cd vmware-7.1-ubuntu10.10-patch
sudo ./apply_patch.sh
Then run VMWare again, the modules should compile this time.
