(errm, not nostalgic, just aggravated ones.) I tried some symlinking or something and it didn't work. The trouble is that Fedora 9 has a later version--crypto is part of SSL. So, I downloaded the source, I think it will ask for some libstc++ library and if you put in yum install whatever it says, yum will get the needed rpm. It was still relatively trivial though. > > Thanks; when I have more time I'll come back to your comments to try > to build it, and hope in the meantime that someone prepares a working > rpm for F9. Building it isn't a difficult or tricky compilation. You download the generic one, which has a .run suffix or something similar, then just type sh whatever_they_call_it.run. It is probably almost as quick as installing the rpm. I would recommend first doing yum install make gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel This will pull in other things such as kernel-headers which are also necessary. After each upgrade of the kernel, you'll have to run /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup It only takes a minute or so to rebuild the module. Honestly, it is quite trivial. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Riley: Buffy . . .
