Virtualbox problem [SOLVED]

ralvez · 2010-01-02 17:47:44

After updating to the latest version of the kernel on 12/31/2009 VirtualBox PUEL no longer works. Of course I did a vbox_build_module but this is what I get:

make[1]: Entering directory `/opt/VirtualBox/src/vboxdrv'
Makefile:152: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR=<directory> and run Make again.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/VirtualBox/src/vboxdrv'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Notice how it seems to "think" the directory for the kernel is wrong or missing?

I decided to try an upgrade downloading the sources all over and this is the result:

 makepkg
==> Making package: virtualbox_bin 3.1.2-2 i686 (Sat Jan  2 12:17:58 EST 2010)
==> Checking Runtime Dependencies...
==> Missing Dependencies:
  -> kernel26-headers
==> Checking Buildtime Dependencies...
==> ERROR: Could not resolve all dependencies.

It seems to me that the problem could be the same as above. So the question is: are there any changes to directories or directory references in this upgrade of the Kernel?
Should I wait for a new version of VirtualBox or is there a workaround?

Thanks.

==> Missing Dependencies:
-> kernel26-headers

that package is needed because: http://www.archlinux.org/news/477/
do:
makepkg -s

I'm not sure if this will help, but there are now two kernel headers packages: kernel26-headers and kernel-headers.
