I am new to kali linux and I try to find my way around it.. I have managed to install vmware workstation 12.1.1 but when I try to run it I get this error
A compatible version of gcc was not found. GNU C Compiler (gcc) version 5.4.0 was not found
I have the gcc 6.1.1 installed and spent 3 days trying to fix this with no result.. Any help?
Edit: I added another answer, that procedure worked for me.
Try running this:
sudo aptitude install gcc-4.3 make linux-headers-`uname -r` -y
and
sudo aptitude install libglib2.0-0
Did you fix it before i could respond? If you did, how did you?
Finally I found the solution here.
Upgrade Kali to the Latest Which is 4.8.0-kali1-amd64
apt upgrade
cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source
tar xf vmmon.tar
tar xf vmnet.tar
cd vmmon-only
make
cd ../vmnet
make
cd ..
mkdir /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc
cp vmmon.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/vmmon.ko
cp vmnet.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/vmnet.ko
depmod -a
/etc/init.d/vmware restart
I'm also hope that its will be helpful for someone.
This worked for me.
Remove gcc and add if you don't have the following lines to /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free
deb http://old.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib
deb http://old.kali.org/kali moto main non-free contrib
Then:
apt-get update
apt-get dist-update
Now install gcc-5
sudo apt-get install gcc-5
And the headers.
But remember: linux-headers-(Put here the output of uname -r)
apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-4.8.0-kali2-amd64
