Rebuild the vboxdrv Module Problem [SOLVED]

I'm running Arch 64bit and recently updated to kernel 2.6.33.2-1

Running the usual vbox module update results in the following error.

[root@Arch2009p2 jeff]# vbox_build_module

update your virtualbox to 3.1.6

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Thanks wonder, that did it.

My Arch install has been running so smooth and maintenance free, (or my old age),
I actually had to refer to my notes for this!!!

HMmmm... A good refresher exercise though.
