Linux Distros need specific packages to be able to build external kernel modules.
openSUSE needs the following: gcc make automake autoconf kernel-source
These can be installed with the following command in a terminal:

Code: Select all

sudo zypper install gcc make automake autoconf kernel-source
For you next venture you can find these by using Google and putting <distro name> guest additions in the search field.
