Fedora 9 on AMD64 with 64 bit kernel

The rpm complains that libasound.so.2 is needed.
I installing alsa-libs with yum

I don't care about sound so I did rpm --nodeps

Right, this dependency is wrong and this bug is fixed in 1.6.2.

On my system it seams for me impossible... I had installed kernel heads and devs, but when I try do to a make it break up...

I don't see your problem.

Si Senor, everthing looks well and it should work, but it doesnt work...

I dont know for what "make" is, but I can see that it breaks.
And there is no module for the Kernel or anythink I can use or start to work with virtualbox. Does there exists a "how-to use virtualbox" for N00bs?
I guest that Im one of them...

After the extrem long working kmk there is nothing on my system:
