guestadditions problem in backtrack
Posted: 21. Apr 2011, 18:03
Hi,
I was using bt4 on virtualbox w/ guestadditions installed w/ no problems.
Then I just tried upgrading to kernel 2.6.35.8 using the instructions here
http://www.backtrack-linux.org/wiki/index.php/Upgrading
Then guestadditions stopped working. I tried to reinstall it similar to these instructions: http://www.backtrack-linux.org/wiki/...ng_BT4_In_VBox
But now it won't install and gives me the following error msg:
The problem seems to be w/ the missing file /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.35.8/arch/x86/Makefile_32.cpu from the linux-headers-2.6.35.8 package. But this file just so happens to be referenced by another file inside that same package (/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.35.8/arch/x86/Makefile line 39).
I know this is a bug w/ the backtrack linux headers package. But has anyone else experienced this or knows of a way around this bug?
Thanks!
