Thanks alot Rarity your suggestion solved the problem, but now getting error on net step to test the CUDA sample If you can help once more I'll be thankfull

Are you running 32bit or 64bit Kali?

If 32bit, here is an extract from CUDA 7.0 release notes.

Support for 32-bit x86 Linux Systems
The CUDA Toolkit and CUDA Driver no longer support developing and running
CUDA and OpenCL Applications on 32-bit x86 Linux operating systems.

Note 1: Developing and running 32-bit applications on 64-bit (x86_64) Linux
operating systems is still supported, but that functionality is marked as deprecated
and may be dropped in a future release. 64-bit applications are not impacted.

Note 2: This notice applies to x86 architectures only; 32-bit application support on the
ARM architecture remains officially supported.

Maybe try installing CUDA 6.5? Otherwise, you will need to find a work around.
