VBox Guest Additions on Intrepid

Post by maxolasersquad »

I have installed Intrepid Ibex in VirtualBox 1.6.2 on a Win XP 32-bit host.
I have installed the build-essentials and then run
sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
That gives me :
Unable to build the kernel module. See the log file /var/log/vboxadd-install.log for more details.
That ends with:

Code: Select all

/tmp/vbox.1/r0drv/linux/the-linux-kernel.h:68:27: error /asm/semaphore.h: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [/tmp/vbox.1/cmc.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [_module_/tmp/vbox.1] Error 2
make: *** [vboxadd] Error 2
Any ideas on how I can get this installed?

Please update to at least 1.6.6 or preferably 2.0.2. Also use the search for some help on this matter, it's been discussed before. I'm moving this topic to Linux Guests.
Read the Forum Posting Guide before opening a topic.
VirtualBox FAQ: Check this before asking questions.
Online User Manual: A must read if you want to know what we're talking about.

See the Tutorials and FAQ section at the top of the Forum for more guides.
Try searching the forums first with Google and add the site filter for this forum.
E.g. install guest additions site:forums.virtualbox.org
