“” is not valid path to the gcc binary (installing vmware tools on Kali Rolling)

i downloaded the new kali rolling recently and decided to fire it up on a VM today.
however i encouter an error during the vmware tools installation:

Searching for GCC...
the path "/usr/bin/gcc" is not valid path to the gcc binary.
Would you like to change it? [yes]


therefore i issue " where gcc " at the terminal to find the gcc path

even i type in the correct gcc path, the problem remains.

but eventually i had it fix. here's the solution:

first, i updated the repositories sources.list  which can be found at
http://docs.kali.org/general-use/kali-linux-sources-list-repositories


after i update my sources.list, i enter the following on the terminal

apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade

after the updates type

apt-get install open-vm-tools-desktop fuse

then

reboot

additional info:

According to Kali's Website " VMware recommends using the distribution-specific
open-vm-tools instead of the VMware Tools package for guest machines " http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2073803
