6263	gcc not installed by default in Fedora Core 12 Guest Additions Fail	ToddAndMargo		"Hi All,

""gcc"" in not installed by default in Fedora Core 12.  Therefore installing the guest additions fails:

# ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run
...
Building the VirtualBox Guest Additions kernel modules     [FAILED]
(Your system does not seem to be set up to build kernel modules.
Look at /var/log/vboxadd-install.log to find out what went wrong)

In VBoxLinuxAdditions, would you please check for ""gcc"" and alert the user if it is missing?

Workaround: #yum install gcc

Many thanks,
