[ticket opened] Inst. 2.2.0 PUEL fails on opensuse 11.1 x64

[dros]

Start here http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic. ... 175#p70866




latest OSE Version from svn fails not . . .

Have I missed something ? Or is this a bogus in the installer ?
BTW.: I can't find any newer linux-kernel-headers
this is a opensuse 11.1 x64
Thanks for any help . . .

[Perryg]

Looks to me like your kernel-headers are out of sync with the kernel.

You can tried to update the headers and see if it will complete

[dros]

i can't find any newer . . i'm not sure at all if the headers are really needed on opensuse 11.1 machines . . .

[Perryg]

They were needed on my install to get it to compile correctly. I added these packages below, ran the install and all worked.
make
gcc
gcc-c++
kernel-source
kernel-syms

Also if the kernel-headers will not update I have had to remove the current headers and then re-install them.

[dros]

all needed packages are installed . . . i could find another version of linux-kernel-headers onhttp://software.opensuse.org/search but they were also not the matching version . . . and in think you are right as the make.log sais "can't find asm/posix_types.h". . . . then i'll have to wait until newer headers are build . . .

[dros]

Today a new Kernel Version was relased, normally the linux-kernel-headers have not to match the running kernel on opensuse it just has to be the last recent version

Very odd. I have the same setup as you and I was able to run /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup correctly after the update yesterday.

Sorry, not much help to you except to demonstrate that there is no problem with the update for Vbox.

PS: I just noticed you are trying to use the OSE version. I'm using the PUEL version.
