VBoxLinuxAdditions problem

[Andr891e]

i just recently tried to install the VBoxLinuxAdditions.run package on my Kali system, but when i run it i get this error:

Code: Select all

vboxadd.sh: Building Guest Additions kernel modules. Failed to set up service vboxadd, please check the log file /var/log/VboxGuestAdditions.log for details.

this is what the log says:

Code: Select all

Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/vboxadd.service->/lib/systemd/system/vboxadd.service.
vboxadd.sh: failed: look at /var/log/vboxadd-install.log to find out what went wrong.
vboxadd.sh: failed: please chech that you have gcc, make, the header files for your Linux kernel and possibly perl installed..
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/vboxadd-service.service->/lib/systemd/system/vboxadd-service.service.
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/vboxadd-x11.service->/lib/systemd/system/vboxadd-x11.service.

what do i do?

Did you follow through with the suggested fix from your log file? Also it would help if you post the complete log file when posting as an attachment along with mentioning the host and version information plus the guests log file ( as an attachment )
