Hi,
I tried that but it says that i realdy have the latest kernel-source
installed see:
[root@localhost 2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.x86_64]# sudo yum install kernel-devel
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, presto, priorities, refresh-packagekit
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
...
...
Finished
371 packages excluded due to repository priority protections
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
Package kernel-devel-2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.x86_64 already installed
and latest version
Nothing to do
However I get the same error when i run ./vboxdrv setup:
Error! Your kernel source for kernel 2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64 cannot be found at
/lib/modules/2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64/build or
/lib/modules/2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64/source.
But these two directories are soft links. The */source is a soft link
to */build and build t's a soft link to this directory
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64 which does not exist.
does this mean i have to rebuild my kernel? if so i dont know where to begin.
Thanks a lot for everyones help.
Dave
