I downloaded v2.1 and compiled it (after installing many, many supporting packages) on my 32-bit Mandriva Linux 2009.0 host per the build instructions. And I installed the kernel module successfully.
Now how do I install it?
This doesn't work: make install
This doesn't work: kmk install
They don't work in the out/linux.x86/release directory either.
Side note: If you are trying to compile this on Mandriva, I had to do this:
cd /usr/lib/qt3/lib; sudo ln -s ../../libqt-mt.so
Also, the qt4-linguist package has to be installed.
OK, it compiled. Now how do I install it?

It seems kind of crazy to go to the effort that VirtualBox has gone to to make it all compile and then not take the small extra step to provide a make target to install it.
But now it doesn't matter. I compiled it because there is no RPM for Mandriva 2009.0. But I installed the RPM for Mandriva 2008.1, which works with no apparent problem. So I don't need to install the compiled version.
