Hi,
Try to follow this article and see if you are able to install the tools in Ubuntu Virtual Machine.

 

[PascalP1]

I have exactly the same problem. Same Kali-Version, exactly same errors.
@Arun@Parallels : The solution in the article didn't work for me.

 

[StephenB4]

I have the same problem with Kali 4.5.0 kernel and Parallels 10.4.0.29337. Has anybody been able to compile the Parallels Tools for this platform?
