Trying to install Virtual Box on Fedora 9 (2.6.25.9-76.fc9.i686) and receiving the following error:
Code:
[root@localhost Download]# rpm -ivh VirtualBox-1.6.2_31466_fedora9-1.i586.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:VirtualBox ########################################### [100%]
Creating group 'vboxusers'. VM users must be member of that group!
No precompiled module for this kernel found -- trying to build one. Messages
emitted during module compilation will be logged to /var/log/vbox-install.log.
Compilation of the kernel module FAILED! VirtualBox will not start until this
problem is fixed. Please consult /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out why the
kernel module does not compile. Most probably the kernel sources are not found.
Install them and execute
/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
as root.
Edit: The /var/log/vbox-install.log says:
Quote:
Makefile:127: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR=<directory> and run Make again. Stop.

I'm a complete newbie and still learning all the great things about Linux - so please forgive me if I am slow to understand. I will appreciate any help/info!
