You might have a good reason to want parallel, but normally, VMware and VirtualBox are better supported. Your problem come from the fact that the kernel API is not totally frozen, so software have to adapt their build to every new kernel, your don't look to be supported, so it is the first error of probably 7-15. Even if you patch the code, you will get a new one.
KVM is the only one you can be sure it will work, but it is not the fastest or the most friendly. VirtualBox and Vmware server are usually easy to install, and work with mor kernel version.
You're missing a few assembler libraries. And also, as other members have said, Parallels won't work on most distros (AFAIK, they sync to the ubuntu kernel).
