Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing VirtualBox 4.2.6 Guest Additions for Linux..........
VirtualBox Guest Additions installer
Removing existing VirtualBox non-DKMS kernel modules [ OK ]
Building the VirtualBox Guest Additions kernel modules
The gcc utility was not found. If the following module compilation fails then
this could be the reason and you should try installing it.
The headers for the current running kernel were not found. If the following
module compilation fails then this could be the reason.
The missing package can be probably installed with
yum install kernel-devel-3.6.10-4.fc18.i686
Building the main Guest Additions module [FAILED]
(Look at /var/log/vboxadd-install.log to find out what went wrong)
Doing non-kernel setup of the Guest Additions [ OK ]

注意上面的出错信息：
Building the main Guest Additions module [FAILED]
解决办法是安装依赖的kernel source， gcc （我顺便也安装了gcc-c++）
yum install kernel-devel.i686 gcc.i686 gcc-c++.i686
然后再次运行Additions的安装程序即可
[root@localhost cdrom]# ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
