Trying to register the VirtualBox kernel modules using DKMS [FAILED]

user11952526Aug 3 2012 — edited Aug 3 2012
Hi,

I am getting the following error while installing Oracle VirtualBox on OEL 5.2, 64-bit.

I am able to see Virtual Machine Wizard from "Applications > System Tools > Oracle VM VirtualBox". Can I go ahead and do 11gR2 RAC installation using Oracle VirtualBox ???

If I need to install DKMS kernel modules please let me know how to do that.

====================================================================================

[root@linux2 OracleVM]# rpm -Uvh VirtualBox-4.1-4.1.18_78361_rhel5-1.x86_64.rpm
