Please read the Manual anmd FAQ for requirements to install the Guest Additions.

You need gcc, make automake, autoconf, kernel-devel. Install these Packages and it will work.

You also might want to install the older, 2.0.6, GA, as the 2.1.0 version can break the video resizing capability. Download it from http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/
