https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=309089#c7 --- Comment #7 from DERUMAUX Marc 2007-09-25 11:38:23 MST --- Thanks, it (almost) works. I had not installed the Kernel Sources. (gcc was installed and I just updated the package ; I could not find any package called gcc-devel with the search tool of yast) May be the Kernel-source package should be included in the dependances of VirtualBox package ?? Now I have a new problem with virtualbox : It does not launch the machine because it says that "I am not a member of vboxusers group". I opened the users menu of Yast2 and added the vboxusers group to my login but that does not change the virtual box response... Shall I reboot, relog ? thanks, Marc -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The factory tree was updated so you can grab packages from there. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
