Opensuse 12.3 and Virtualbox 4.2.10 to run

I have installed recent Virtualbox 4.2.10 r84104. But I was not able to run Virtualbox, it has ended with alert box to run
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

But this command showed something like

Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules done
Recompiling VirtualBox kernel modules failed
(Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong)

Problem was that tools for kernel modules compiling were missing.

In Yast Control Center ->  Softwate Management -> View -> pattern a have selected in Development branch:
  • Base Development
  • C/C++ Development
  • Linux Kernel Development
Than  sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup ended with:

Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules done
Recompiling VirtualBox kernel modules done
Starting VirtualBox kernel modules done
