Default Virtualbox Guest Additions in openSuse 11

I am very new to openSuse and I am trying to get it running in VirtualBox with a Windows Vista host (bleh). Well, I installed it and everything seemed to go smooth. However, when I tried to install the Guest Additions I get the following message:

linux-u8j8:/media/VBOXADDITIONS_1.5.4_27034 # sh VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing VirtualBox 1.5.4 Guest Additions for Linux installation...................................... .................................................. .................................................. .......
VirtualBox 1.5.4 Guest Additions installation
Building a test kernel module failed. See the log file /var/log/vboxadd-install.log
for more details.
Problems were found which would prevent the Guest Additions from installing.
Please correct these problems and try again.

At first I was getting an error saying that I didn't have make and some other packages installed so I followed the guide at this website (Installing VirtualBox guest additions in OpenSuse « James Selvakumar’s Blog) and it got past that error but now I get the one mentioned above. What should I do?
