[Bio-Linux] Parallels

[Steve Moss]

Dear Tauqeer,

Could you post your /var/log/parallels-tools-install.log on pastebin.com
and share a link to it please? What system are you running on? BioLinux
7/Ubuntu 12.04? What version of Parallels are you using? I found some posts
referring to problems with Ubuntu/kernel support in various versions of
Parallels. It seems they take a while to include support for more recent
kernels and/or Ubuntu releases.

Try the following in the first instance to ensure your build environment is
configured correctly:

sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)

Cheers,

Steve
