I'm fairly new to Linux and I got this error msg using VBox. I've installed the DKMS and kernel-devel as suggest. I think my problem is with a gcc command but I don't have a clue what this is.
Please help...Thanks, Kirk Ziegler
This error says to /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
which fails and says to see the vbox-install log:

The bold part of the log should say enough. You need gcc to compile the kernel modules. For Fedora, you issue the following command as root:
Code: Select all
yum install gccRead the Forum Posting Guide before opening a topic.
