Summary0004192: Error installing virtualbox guest additions (6.0.24.r139119 - Qt.5.6.1) on rocky linux 9.2
DescriptionI tried to install the virtualbox guest additions on rocky linux 9.2 (updated 09/11/2023) but I received the following error:

-----------
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

in the log file I saw:

I then tried to search for the stdarg.h file to see if it was not present on the server but the result was the following:

-----------
/opt/VBoxGuestAdditions-6.0.24/src/vboxguest-6.0.24/vboxguest/include/iprt/stdarg.h

/usr/src/kernels/5.14.0-284.25.1.el9_2.x86_64/include/linux/stdarg.h
-----------

I would like to point out that the kernel version in use on the virtual server is 5.14.0-284.25.1.el9_2.x86_64 and the virtualbox version installed on the physical server is 6.0.24.r139119.

Online I saw that some people suggested switching to virtualbox 6.1.X, but since it is a production server that hosts online services I am not allowed to shut down the system to perform the update.

Are there any patches or alternative procedures that allow me to install the virtualbox guest additions on rocky linux 9.2?

Thank you.
