Install the required packages in the BL guest, as suggested by the error message?

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gcc make perl linux-headers-amd64

Hello Damo

Thank You for solution. I installed "gcc make perl linux-headers-amd64" and next "sudo sh VBoxLinuxAddition" - its finished without error.

I checked options for clipboard and second one (I have polish version of VB so I dont know proper name of it) - on both is enabled both-direction option.

What to do next to get it working?

Regards

This did/does the trick for me every time. edit: Under display you probably want to enable 3d acceleration.
