Uncompressing VirtualBox 4.2.6 Guest Additions for Linux..........

VirtualBox Guest Additions installer

Removing existing VirtualBox non-DKMS kernel modules      [  OK  ]

Building the VirtualBox Guest Additions kernel modules

The gcc utility was not found. If the following module compilation fails then

this could be the reason and you should try installing it.

The headers for the current running kernel were not found. If the following

module compilation fails then this could be the reason.

The missing package can be probably installed with

yum install kernel-devel-3.6.10-4.fc18.i686

Building the main Guest Additions module                  [FAILED]

(Look at /var/log/vboxadd-install.log to find out what went wrong)

Doing non-kernel setup of the Guest Additions              [  OK  ]

Installing the Window System drivers

Installing X.Org Server 1.13 modules                      [  OK  ]

Setting up the Window System to use the Guest Additions    [  OK  ]

You may need to restart the hal service and the Window System (or just restart

the guest system) to enable the Guest Additions.

[root@localhost cdrom]#

注意上面的出错信息：

Building the main Guest Additions module                  [FAILED]

解决办法是安装依赖的kernel source， gcc （我顺便也安装了gcc-c++）

yum install kernel-devel.i686 gcc.i686 gcc-c++.i686

然后再次运行Additions的安装程序即可

[root@localhost cdrom]# ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
