Fedora 17 64-Bit Building Guest Additions Module [failed]

edit

Hi, I am having trouble trying to install the VirtualBox Guest Addtions on my Fedora 17 virtual machine.

I have updated yum, installed the header dependencies, set the KERNDIR to /usr/src/kernels/'uname -r', exported the KERNDIR and started the installation. However, I keep getting the following error:

   "Building the main Guest Additions module [FAILED]" (Look at /var/log/vboxadd-install.log to find out what went wrong)

So I opened up the file it tells me that my kernel configurations are wrong. I don't get it. Any help would be appreciated :)

I have read on the oracle website that this is a bug in the version 3.5 kernels from Fedora. I have tried updating the memobj-r0dv-linux.c file located in /usr/src/vboxguest-4.1.18/vboxguest/r0drv/linux, however I am still getting the same error. The link to the error topic is here: [https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/10709].

I am sorry for having to post the log file like this, but for some reason the links are not working.. the vbaddinstall.log contents are below:
