Re: [Fedora] Re: VirtualBox VBoxVMM.so: cannot open shared object file

[Walter Cazzola <cazzola@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Linuxers,
I've the same problem the original op raised and more than a month later
this is still unsolved (at least on my machine).

I've installed:
  - dkms-2.1.0.1-1.fc12.noarch
  - VirtualBox-OSE-3.2.6-2.fc13.x86_64
  - kmod-VirtualBox-OSE-3.2.6-1.fc13.9.x86_64

still a FC13 with the repo Steven's suggested but yum says that nothing
needs to be updated and still VirtualBox silently quit with the
VBoxVMM.so missing message.

Any idea?

Walter
