[SOLVED] DKMS Error, I am unable to rebuild the kernel, VirturaBox 4.3.14

I can open VirtualBox but when I start a virtual machine I get, "Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)"... The error tells me to run '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'
When I do I get:

Code:

When I open the make.log for more information I get:

That folder does not exist.
I'm not sure what is supposed to generate that folder and it's contents, but I seem to be missing something.
Thanks in advance for any help.

What OS is host
Is gcc installed?

dictatorofmyownworld · 09-06-2014, 05:05 PM

Nice. Opened YaST, searched gcc, installed gcc and it's dependencies now it works! I didn't know that gcc was something that I needed to install. Thanks again, that's 2 for 2.
