Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose

I am testing ubuntu natty under virtualbox, and I tried to install the guest utils, as described on http://www.webupd8.org/2010/12/how-to-test-ubuntu-1104-with-unity-in.html

A crash reporting dialog popped up during the installation. I got these error messages on my terminal:

Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 2.6.38-7-generic (x86_64)
Consult the make.log in the build directory
/var/lib/dkms/virtualbox-ose-guest/4.0.4/build/ for more information.

The make.log file has this tail:
