I just grabbed a fresh copy of Ubuntu 12.0.4.2 64-bit Server, then did an apt-get update and upgrade.
Then, I tried to install apt-get install open-vm-tools
The primary package succeeds, but open-vm-dkms fails to build the kernel modules.
Anyone with the same issue? I tried Googling but there were almost no results. How can this be, since this is a completely fresh copy of Ubuntu 12.04 and I've done this procedure many times before and never had any issues.
Edit: make.log added
