Proxychains unable to locate file on kali linux

linux proxy dns iceweasel

I'm having a problem with my kali linux and the proxychains: it outputs following error. It seems it cannot find the reference pointer for the exec or the exec has wrong info.

I have checked the resolv.conf file everything seems to be ok and also the proxychains.conf file seems to be running fine. I've tried multiple dns servers but the same error results.

Anyone has any solution ? Output from the command line:

 root@kali:~# proxychains iceweasel www.google.com
 ProxyChains-3.1 (http://proxychains.sf.net)
 |DNS-request| www.google.com 
 can't exec proxyresolv: No such file or directory
 |DNS-response|: www.google.com is not exist
 |DNS-request| www.google.com 
 can't exec proxyresolv: No such file or directory
 |DNS-response|: www.google.com is not exist

Had the same issue, the symlink for proxyresolv seems to have been destroyed. Coincidence? I think not. Something to do with the latest upgrade.

Fix:

ln -s /usr/lib/proxychains3/proxyresolv /usr/bin/
