VirtualBox Additions in a Slackware virtual
Help me - I'm stupid!
I have Slack 12.1 running in a virtual. When i try to load the additions, I get and error that says Code:
Please install the build and header files for your Linux kernel |

So I loaded the package and now when I build (this is good, I'm getting further) I am referred to the log file that says: Code:
ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid |
I will start by saying that some older versions of VirtualBox break with newer kernels -- so make sure you're using the latest VirtualBox. That specific error is ambiguous. Sometimes it means that your kernel sources are hosed (make sure the kernel sources are installed -- `ls /var/log/packages | grep kernel-source-2.6.24.5_smp-noarch-2` should return something). Make sure that /usr/src/linux-2.6.24.5/include/linux/autoconf.h exists. Beyond that, I don't know enough to help you. If your kernel source is hosed, you could run `make oldconfig && make prepare` on the kernel sources, but that's probably not the problem (and it's not the best solution either).

OK, so I ran make xconfig and make prepare and am no longer getting the auto.conf error. Now i'm onto this error:
Code:
