To install VirtualBox v3.1.4, I have d/l the appropriate RPM file from the VM site. Running rpm -U <filename> gets a failure message directing me to inspect the logfile /var/log/vbox-install.log, which is as follows:

I do not understand what the trouble is. The installed kernel source, according to YaST is "linux-2.6.27.45-0.1.1". I see the two notations of missing commands, but it isn't clear what commands it is that are lacking.
You didn't install gcc , the C-Compiler and probably more packages needed for doing "Kernel-development".
According to YaST, the following packages related to gcc are installed: cpp43 gcc gcc43 gcc43-c++ gcc43-gij gcc-c++ gcc-gij libgcc43 libgcc43-32bit libgcj43 As I look at the list, I still think I have gcc installed, even granted that some of the above are for Java, which I assume is irrelevant. What other packages from the very long list might be necessary? -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
