Description
I had virtualbox guest additions working fine in ubuntu64 version 9.10 on windows 7 host. Then one day it just was not workin. I cannot get it to reinstall. It says your system does not seem to be set up to build kernel modules. I have googled this and installed everything suggested. I have downloaded the correct headers for the kernel version. BUt still the same message. The log file has masses of errors in so I guess there is some problem with the headers but how do I fix?
Note I have another virtual machine now on the same pc and vbox with same linux guest and guest additions working fine. However the original still has the problem.

I have solved this. Must have been some corruption of the kernel headers so it thought they were installed when there was a file missing or something.
apt-get remove kernel-headers-$(uname -r) apt-get install kernel-headers-$(uname-r)
