Getting the following error while attempting to install VMWare Tools inside a guest running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I attempted to open a ticket within VMWare's system and got an error (losing faith in Vmware here as an ESXi + Fusion customer...)
Sounds like Vmware needs to update the VMware tools for Ubuntu 14.04 kernel headers??

The filesystem driver (vmhgfs module) is used only for the shared folder
feature. The rest of the software provided by VMware Tools is designed to work
independently of this feature.
If you wish to have the shared folders feature, you can install the driver by
running vmware-config-tools.pl again after making sure that gcc, binutils, make
and the kernel sources for your running kernel are installed on your machine.
These packages are available on your distribution's installation CD.

Seems to work fine with the Tools in the recent VMware Fusion 6.0.3 update:
http://www.vmware.com/go/downloadfusion
Certainly the Tools would need to be updated in order to support Unity view (disabled, sofar, also with 6.0.3 + 14.04) in recent Ubuntu guests: maybe in Fusion 6.1, who knows...
