VirtualBox 4.3 does not install on CentOS 7

Post by Leigh »

Hi All,

Linux newbie here... I am having problems installing VB 4.3 on CentOS 7. (Fresh out today).

It comes up with a transaction error. I am thinking the repos have yet to be updated...

Any help would be appreciated!

The newest version of VirtualBox is at least a month older than the host you have. I doubt it would work properly in any regards, but without precise error messages no one can help.

Hi, I have the same problem with VirtualBox-4.3-4.3.12_93733_el6-1.x86_64 install on CentOS 7 then the error say:


"# rpm -i VirtualBox-4.3-4.3.12_93733_el6-1.x86_64.rpm
error: Error de dependencias:
libpython2.6.so.1.0()(64bit) es necesario por VirtualBox-4.3-4.3.12_93733_el6-1.x86_64
python(abi) = 2.6 es necesario por VirtualBox-4.3-4.3.12_93733_el6-1.x86_64"
