[opensuse] Updating VirtualBox

I elected to delete the previous version (v2.2.1) and then reinstall v2.2.4, which was probably unnecessary bother. After removing the older version with rpm -e <filename>, when I attempted to install the new one, I received the following error message: ***** No precompiled module for this kernel found -- trying to build one. Messages emitted during module compilation will be logged to /var/log/vbox-install.log. Compilation of the kernel module FAILED! VirtualBox will not start until this problem is fixed. Please consult /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out why the kernel module does not compile. Most probably the kernel sources are not found. Install them and execute /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup as root. insserv: script lpd: service cupsd already provided! ***** Inspecting the log entry, on the other hand, tells me a similar, but different, story: ***** ** Compiling vboxdrv Makefile:172: *** Error: unable to find the include directory for your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_INCL=<directory> and run Make again. Stop. ***** These are two different diagnoses. Furthermore, in each of the suggestions, there are things I don't know how to do: shows me many entries; I do not know which one would be the one to identify, nor do I know where to write "KERN_INCL=...", if the log entry's suggestion is the right way to go. Anyway, I ran rpm, not Make. I am also confused about the question about the kernel module. There was no such err when I installed the preceding version. I see in YaST that there is a short list of kernel modules for the ose version of VirtualBox, but what I have here is what I downloaded from the Sun site. Can someone help me unconfuse? -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
