I'm running openSUSE 13.1 guest OS inside virtualbox on ubuntu 12.04 host. The OS installed fine, but when I try to build the guest addons by issuing "./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run", the build process fails as logged in vboxadd-install.log below. I have installed all dependencies including make, gcc and kernel-source:

vbox-install.log output

Most likely, this error is caused by the linux headers being out of sync with your kernel. You will have to download a newer version of the linux headers. I do not have an OpenSUSE pc at hand, but I seem to remeber that the headers are located in the *linux-glibc-devel * package.
