Building the VirtualBox Guest Additions kernel modules               failed
Your system does not seem to be set up to build kernel modules.

 

Answer :

This my  current System:

syslog1:/media # uname -a
Linux syslog1 2.6.37-rc3-git1-6-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2010-11-24 15:49:45 +0100 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
syslog1:/media # cat  /etc/issue
Welcome to openSUSE 11.4 “Celadon” Milestone 4 of 6  – Kernel r (l).

Install  these packages to resolve the issue:

 zypper install gcc make automake autoconf kernel-source kernel-syms

after the installations , try again
