Attempt to install VirtualBox Guest Additions for newly installed in virtual machine Koala guest (host = Ubuntu 9.04) produces the following output:


Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing VirtualBox 2.2.4 Guest Additions for Linux installation...................................... .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ..................................
VirtualBox 2.2.4 Guest Additions installation
Building the VirtualBox Guest Additions kernel module...
Building the shared folder support kernel module...
Unable to build the kernel module. See the log file /var/log/vboxadd-install.log
for more details.

Both systems - host / guest - has x86 architecture.
Log file attached here as an archive.
What's wrong? Is it a real bug in beta version of Ubuntu 9.10 or something else?

seems like it failed at building kernel modules..
this usually means you haven't installed your kernel headers yet
to get them:

sudo aptitude install linux-headers-2.6.31-11-generic

No. Synaptic show me that this package already installed.

It is a Sun VirtualBox bug - http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/4823
Now I'll try to use latest virtualbox from its repository

Agree.
Just 3.0.6 version fully support Koala guest because of implemented support of 2.26.31+ core.
