Ubuntu 12.04 + VMware Tools = some Warnings + Errors

Looks like you did install VMware Tools successfully and ran vmware-toobox.  I'm not sure what your  problem is

The 8.0.3 release notes claim that Ubuntu 12.04 is supported as a guest:

This release of VMware Workstation supports Ubuntu 12.04 as a guest operating system.

However, it looks like tools installation still fails to build the vmxnet module, as the op's linked page shows.

When is this going to be fixed?
