opensuse11.1 : some small helps installing virtualbox 2.1.2

Post by klaus_ph »

hi fans

there are some steps to virtualbox 2.1.2 to run:
[I trapped like an newbie in those holes ;-) ]
[it happens, because I have a brandnew opensuse11.1 installed]

1. look in yast, are installed: "gcc"?
good idea to install "make" too
2. I think You also need to install kernel-symbols (kernel-syms). If You do this, You are pleased to installed also kernel-source (no problem approx 80MB)

and everytime: read some logs:
/var/log/vbox-install.log
and certain! /var/log/warn

those were my traps ;-)
Yours klaus

NB: oh, fools we are ;-)
1st everybody have to look on official docu. read page 21.
and 2nd to ask here.
NB2: my fault: I never read 1st in docu's. 1st I try myself ;-)
basicly born on os/2, later ecs2. matureness on linux, loving real servers from ibm ;-)
bytheway: I HATE deleting of msg, unequal if mine or not. in german forums (qnap/os2_org) this happens. I wish, this would be NOT happen in virtualbox_forum!
