Trying to update Virtual Box to 4.0.6 71344 on Fedora 14 I get following error :
$ cat /var/lib/dkms/vboxhost/4.0.6/build/make.log

I assume this problem is not in VirtualBox but in fedora.
I install 4.0.6 buid 71344 with no error on 2.6.38.3-15.rc1.fc15.x86_64 but I have problem above on 2.6.38.3-17.fc15.x86_64

Yes but it should work in Fedora 14 as well. If not then the DEVs need to know about it. I don't have my F14 machine available to me at the moment, that is why I suggested that you post this to the section I indicated. They will check it tomorrow and see what the problem is, and if they need to fix something they will.

I have same problem - it updated automatically via yum - and now it doesn't work because of the

Regarding the fedora problem with newer kernels.
The problem is really on fedora 15 (which kernels are being used here on fedora 14).
This will be a problem when fedora 15 is released in the coming weeks.
That said - there is a fix for fedora 14 - simply rebuild the kernel on fedora 14 itself (this of course wont help with fedora 15 itself).
I downloaded the src.rpm for the kernel and used rpmbuild to build it on fedora 14 - now virtualbox works fine.
This issue will come back when fedora 15 (and other distro's) go live with newer systems (glibc, gcc etc) - which have newer toolchains for building kernels.

On further thought - this may or may not be a problem on fedora 15. It may just be using a fedora 15 compiled kernel (using newer toolchain - glibc, gcc etc) on a fedora 14 system.
Someone needs to try it on a fedora 15 install.

It does install correctly in Fedora-15 although the OS is not supported yet and you need to install the build for Fedora-14.
Given your situation I am going to say that using the F-15 kernel in F-14 is causing the dependency problem.

That makes sense ... so this is not a bug ... it works on f14 and f15 no problem as long as we use consistent build.
thanks for testing the f15 case ...
