Windows下VirtualBox中RedHat5.5的增强功能安装

解决Redhat Enterprise Linux 5下VBOXADDITIONS插件kernel modules编译失败的问题

rhel5虽然已经在虚拟机里安装了一段时间了。但是一直没有使用。今天因为Spark XML解析的问题，开了一下虚拟机，发现自己的客户机增强工具包还没有安装好，所以就动手安装了一下，首先是切换到root用户，然后执行./autorun.sh罗，结果提示gksu没有，在红帽的系统里，当然没有这个命令了，况且我本来就是用root执行这个脚本，也没有比较再去获得root权限了，删除之，再次执行，出现了下面的错误信息。提示不能编译内核模块。

[root@rhel VBOXADDITIONS_3.1.4_57640]# ./autorun.sh

Building the VirtualBox Guest Additions kernel modules     [失败]
(Your system does not seem to be set up to build kernel modules.
Look at /var/log/vboxadd-install.log to find out what went wrong)

看log文件之前先看看我的系统版本信息

[leo@rhel ~]$ uname -a
Linux rhel 2.6.18-128.el5 #1 SMP Wed Jan 21 08:45:05 EST 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

错误日志。提示不能找到内核Source，让指定KERN_DIR。在/usr/src下找了一下，确实没有。准备安装source文件。

[root@rhel VBOXADDITIONS_3.1.4_57640]# cat /var/log/vboxadd-install.log 
Makefile:23: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR=<directory> and run Make again.。 停止。

安装kernel-devel和kernel-headers两个软件包，配置编译环境。

[root@rhel VBOXADDITIONS_3.1.4_57640]# yum install kernel-devel kernel-headers

安装成功后再次编译，编译已经OK了啊。

[root@rhel VBOXADDITIONS_3.1.4_57640]# ./autorun.sh

安装完成之后，鼠标已经可以正常在主机和虚拟机之间自由滑动了，另外，系统剪贴板也已经正常共享了。写出来，方便大家吧。

再次感叹一下，服务器的启动和Ubuntu桌面版的启动速度比起来，差别还是太大了。

安装gcc时提示需要libgmp.so.3 找了好久才查到是需要安装gmp-4.1.4-10.e15.i386.rpm
