Hi all,
I am trying to install virtualbox onto a centos5 installation. Centos 5 looks like is is a certified media according to the virtualbox download site
this is what I get
rpm -ivh VirtualBox-3.2-3.2.6_63112_rhel5-1.x86_64.rpm
warning: VirtualBox-3.2-3.2.6_63112_rhel5-1.x86_64.rpm: Header V4 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 98ab5139
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]

Creating group 'vboxusers'. VM users must be member of that group!
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.
[root@user software]# /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
Stopping VirtualBox kernel module [ OK ]
Recompiling VirtualBox kernel module [FAILED]
(Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong)
can anyone please help in fixing this issue.
thanks
