			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you try to install the VirtualBox Guest Additions for a Linux guest system, this will fail due to some weired &#8216;features&#8217; in the installation. This post is based on my experience with VirtualBox 3.0.6.</p>
<p>To perform the installation do the following:<br />
Choose <tt>Install Guest Additions...</tt> from the VirtualBox menu. Open a terminal window in your guest system. Do a </p>
<p><code>cd /media/VBOXADDITIONS_3.0.6_52128/</code><br />
(the foldername will change depending on the VBox version). Proceed as described below.<br />
<span id="more-54"></span></p>
<h3>1. Cannot execute .run file</h3>
<p>When you try to execute the installation file (e.g. VBoxLinuxAdditions-amd64.run), you get an error message like this</p>
<pre>[root@integration /]# cd /media/VBOXADDITIONS_3.0.6_52128/
[root@integration VBOXADDITIONS_3.0.6_52128]# ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-amd64.run
-bash: ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-amd64.run: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied</pre>
<p>The solution is to use the command</p>
<p><code>sh VBoxLinuxAdditions-amd64.run</code></p>
<p>instead (choosing the right architecture, it was 64bit in this case).</p>
<h3>2. Installer complains about missing gcc and Linux kernel headers</h3>
<p>The solution to this is to update your kernel to the latest version and install headers and sources for it. VirtualBox requires to compile some drivers when it installs.</p>
<p>Just execute<br />
<code>yum update kernel<br />
yum install gcc<br />
yum install kernel-devel</code><br />
.<br />
Run the installer again and everything should be ok.</p>
