kali linux vmware gcc not found error

Question

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?

Answer 1

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?
