kali linux vmware gcc not found error - gcc

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

cilk.h: No such file or directory

I compile in Ubuntu 20.04 with gcc 7.5.0 and g++ 7.5.0(supporting cilk plus), but the error says that 'cilk/cilk.h: No such file or directory'the error is shown in the picture
Anybody could help me with the situation? Thanks a lot!
Your compiler still doesn't support cilkplus, just install it via apt-get install:
sudo apt-get install -y libcilkrts5
there you go,
UPDATE: Cilk is not supported with the gcc package on ubuntu 20.04,
to have cilk on ubuntu 20.04 you have to install gcc version < 7 , by the following instruction it's possible to install gcc-6 g++6 on ubuntu 20.04,
sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list
add "deb http://dk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic main universe" to file
sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install gcc-6 g++-6 -y
check by gcc -v if you have downgraded correctly the gcc version Then the cilk extension should work.

How to downgrade libprotobuf.so

I'm trying to run a .pyc which shows this msg:
ImportError: libprotobuf.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I have a newer version of libprotobuf.
Do you know how to solve this issue? I think the only way is to downgrade libprotobuf. But how can I do that and install the exact version it is asking me for?
Thanks in advance
My ubuntu 18.04 had a same problem and I solved it as follows.
Here are different version libprotobuf
(https://pkgs.org/download/libprotobuf)
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install gdebi
$ wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/protobuf/libprotobuf9v5_2.6.1-1.3_amd64.deb
$ sudo gdebi ./libprotobuf9v5_2.6.1-1.3_amd64.deb
You can use gdebi to install this deb package solving dependencies.

Undefined reference to libusb_get_parent() - compiling freenect

I'd want to install some libraries in order to connect a Kinect 360 in a Raspberry following this link: http://www.kdab.com/setting-up-kinect-for-programming-in-linux-part-1/
First, I checked this on Ubuntu and all was fine.
However, when I want to build libfreenect (with make) this error is shown:
../lib/libfreenect.so.0.5.2: undefined reference to 'lisusb_get_parent'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
I'm new on Raspberry and I don't know how to fix this.
Any help is appreciated!! :)
Thanks!
I ran into the same problem, starting from a fresh install of Raspbian 2015-02-16. Apparently (based on this), the version of libusb you get with apt-get is old. My workaround, based on recommendations from that link and elsewhere, is to build libusb from the more recent sources and convince libfreenect to use that:
Grab the packages you'll need to compile libusb and libfreenect:
sudo apt-get install git cmake build-essential
sudo apt-get install freeglut3-dev libxmu-dev libxi-dev
sudo apt-get install libudev-dev
Remove the existing libusb, if it's there:
sudo apt-get remove libusb-1.0-0-dev
Grab the sources for libusb-1.0.18:
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb/files/libusb-1.0/libusb-1.0.18/libusb-1.0.18.tar.bz2
tar -xvf libusb-1.0.18.tar.bz2
Build and install the updated libusb:
cd libusb-1.0.18/
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-static
make
sudo make install
Ugly hack to convince libfreenect to use the new libusb library:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libusb-1.0.so /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libusb-1.0.so
Then you should be able to build libfreenect.
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libusb-1.0.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libusb-1.0.so
when u r using x86_64 machine

How to install g++ 4.9 on Debian Wheezy armel?

My Debian 7 armel embedded system currently has g++ 4.6, and I'd like to upgrade to g++ 4.9 to use new C++11 features. How do I do that?
My current sources.list contents is:
deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian wheezy main non-free
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian wheezy main non-free
A simple apt-get install of the package does not work:
root#arm:~# apt-get install g++-4.9
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package g++-4.9
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'g++-4.9'
Another workaround could be to install the g++ 4.9 packages from "Jessie", according to this blog post. Briefly, you would have to tell APT to use the Jessie repos while you are installing the new G++. First bring the current Wheezy up-to-date:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Then do a backup :-) and edit /etc/apt/sources.list so that you replace the string "wheezy" with "jessie":
sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.WHEEZY
sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
Now update the package list and install the 4.9 version of GCC/G++:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gcc-4.9 g++-4.9
After this revert to the "original" package list:
sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list.WHEEZY /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update
This leaves the original GCC,G++ in place. If you wish to compile with the 4.9 version, then either set the CC and CXX env vars accordingly or invoke the compilers as gcc-4.9 or g++-4.9 explicitly.
Probably-required: packaging-dev, ubuntu-dev-tools
Set up pbuilder
(this lets you build a package in a chroot without polluting your system with build-dependency packages)
sudo pbuilder create
if you want to build for a specific distribution, (pbuilder uses the build system release in a chroot) you can use pbuilder-dist [precise/oneric/trusy/etc...] create
Get debian source
pull-debian-source gcc-4.9 [4.9.0-6]
specific debian revision is optional, but can be useful if you want to pull experimental/unstable/testing/stable revisions
you can also pull from specific ubuntu distros by adding them to sources.list as a deb-src and using sudo apt-get src
Build Package
sudo pbuilder build gcc-4.9_4.9.0-6.dsc
In the files downloaded there is a .dsc file, for the most recent gcc it is gcc-4.9_4.9.0-6.dsc which is a package descriptor file. .orig.tar.[gz/xz] is the source tarball.
Create local Apt-repository
mkdir /convenient/place/for/repo
cp /var/cache/pbuilder/result/* /path/to/repo
cd /path/to/repo
apt-ftp archive packages . > Packages
sudo echo "deb [trusted=yes] file:/local/repo/Packages ./" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gcc-repo.list`
Note you can also do this step with .debs downloaded from anywhere (skip step 1-3)
Install
apt-get update; apt-get install gcc-4.9 g++-4.9
Instead of using the jessie packages, it would be better to check to see if it's been back-ported to wheezy. Add this to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy-backports main
and do an apt-get update and see if you can install it then.
There is a gcc-4.9-backport now.
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gcc-4.9-backport

LibreOffice OnLine build

I'm trying to compile libreoffice, to use it "online", i.e: in a web browser (see a demo here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVR7HqDokmA
).
When running the executable, I get this error:
**Gdk-ERROR **: Unsupported GDK backend: broadway**
These are the steps I do to compile libreoffice on a Ubuntu 11.10 Linux box:
cd /opt
mkdir -p libreoffice
cd libreoffice/
git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core
cd core
cat >> /etc/apt/sources.list << EOT
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ppa/ubuntu oneiric main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ppa/ubuntu oneiric main
EOT
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 1378B444
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get build-dep libreoffice
sudo apt-get install -y libgnomevfs2-dev
sudo apt-get install -y doxygen
./autogen.sh --enable-gtk3 --without-java --disable-mozilla --without-system-mozilla
make
make dev-install
cd install/program;
. ./ooenv;
export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk3
export GDK_BACKEND=broadway
./soffice --writer
What is the problem here? Is there any other compilation option I can check?
Seems your GTK hasn't been compiled with the broadway backend enabled. Depends on your distro.
As liberforce correctly pointed out, you need a BROADWAY-enabled GTK.
I did just discover ubuntu 12.04 ships with a BROADWAY-enabled GTK...
