Open terminal.

01. Create a directory named gcc under /usr
mkdir /usr/gcc
cd /usr/gcc

02. Download the following files by running the command as follows.
wget http://cudlug.cudenver.edu/GNU/gnu/gcc/ ... .3.tar.bz2
wget http://cudlug.cudenver.edu/GNU/gnu/gcc/ ... .3.tar.bz2

03. Uncompress the two files.
tar xjvf gcc-g++-3.4.3.tar.bz2 ; tar xjvf gcc-core-3.4.3.tar.bz2

04. Then do the following commands.
rm -rf /usr/gcc/obj/* ; mkdir /usr/gcc/obj ; cd /usr/gcc/obj

05. Run the configure with the options C and C++
../gcc-3.4.3/configure -enable-languages=c,c++

06. Make it
make bootstrap ; make install

That’s all.
Verify it with the following commands.
To know the path :
which g++

To know the version:
g++ -v

07 Install Kernel headers and Kernel devel:
yum install binutils gcc make patch libgomp glibc-headers glibc-devel kernel-headers kernel-devel

08 Now install the VboxLinuxAdditions-x86.run

The way i do this is to drag that file to the desktop.
Open Terminal.
cd Desktop
su
(Now enter your administrator password)
sh VboxLinuxAdditions-x86.run

Thats it - all done.
:D
