in file /usr/share/virtualbox/src/vboxhost/vboxnetflt/linux/VBoxNetFlt-linux.c

line 50:

#if RTLNX_VER_MIN(6,5,0)

should be replaced with line:

#if RTLNX_VER_MIN(6,4,10)

and the listed error doesn't happening during vbxconfig building kernel module on VirtualBox 7.0.10 (official rpm package from download virtualbox org) and fc37 kernel >= 6.4.10 . I belive this is exactly the same error and slution for fc38.

damn, same problem happened to me with Fedora 37 and kernel-6.4.11-100.fc37.x86_64 :(

I am using the official rpm packages from download.virtualbox.org.

should I wait for the next release or should I switch to another repository like rpmfusion? Is it as easy as removing existing rpms and installing new ones?

thank you.

I'm using Fedora 38, the test version https://www.virtualbox.org/download/tes ... _amd64.run works for me. Just uninstall the current 7.0.10 RPM and install the .run file. When there's a new stable release, remove the .run install by running the "uninstall" script in /opt/VirtualBox, and install the new RPM. I'm using the stable 7.0.10 extension pack since that's not involved in building the kernel modules.
