Running VMWare Player on Kali as a Host

I know most people run Kali on a host machine as a guest, but I am doing this the other way around. I have a dedicated machine which I installed Kali on as the main operating system. What I want to do now is install VMWare Player on it so that I can run the Lamp Capture The Flag exercises (http://sourceforge.net/projects/lamp...aptureTheFlag/)

Unfortunatly, when I downloaded VMWare Player for Linux, I was able to install it but I get the following errors

I figure there is a "right" way of running VMWare Player from within Kali and I was wondering how its done?

Did you install the kernel headers?

Code:

---

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get install -y linux-headers-$(uname -r)

That did the trick! It did take close to 7 hours to fully download everything, but it works :)

As long as you have it working =).

For the record, if the repos are being 'slow' for you, you may wish to read: "Issue: Downloading from the repository is (very) slow".
