Maybe, gcc means "/tmp/vbox.2/math/gcc".
Anyway,
# rm -rf /tmp/vbox.*
Then, try to install VBox 3.1.4.
Regards,
That's all it took. As I said, I knew that the ones in the /tmp were superfluous, but I would not have guessed that they would have prevented compilation. Many thanks. Interestingly, after Vbox installed, it was able to find the WinX VM that belonged to the previously installed VBox ose version (uninstalled several days ago), complete with Guest Additions. I assume that the gcc files in /tmp were probably an undeleted remnant of the removal of the ose version that I would have deleted when I got around to it, but attached no importance to now. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
