Guest Additions OpenSUSE guest

Newbie at Linux. When installing the guest additions in OpenSUSE I get the following message:

"Please install the build and header files for your current Linux kernel.
The current kernel version is 2.6.25.5-1.1-default"

How do I do this? Is there a download available? Any help would be extremely appreciated.

Look at Yast2 / Software.

At this point refer to User Manual, there are written some more dependencies. Check this first before a new try.

Thanks Stefan.

I installed the header, which resulted in OpenSUSE not booting.
Error message:

"This Kernel requires the following feature not present on the CPU (pae)"

Dell Optiplex 755
Intel Core Dual E4500
2GB RAM

No problems on VMWare.

I am wondering if the issue is with VirtualBox or with me as I am a Linux beginner.

You can enable PAE in the VirtualBox Guest Settings.
