[SOLVED] Virtual Box Installation - vboxdrv setup

Hello,  second day on Arch here and learning as much as I can but can't seem to get VirtualBox up and running.

I am following the guide found here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VirtualBox

So far I have run

pacman -S virtualbox-ose
gpasswd -a USERNAME vboxusers #Putting my username in of course
/etc/rc.d/vboxdrv setup

That last line there is where I run into problems.  I get the error message

[USERNAME@HOST ~]$ sudo /etc/rc.d/vboxdrv setup
:: Unloading VirtualBox kernel modules                                   [DONE] 
:: Recompiling VirtualBox kernel modules                                 [BUSY] 
Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong
Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong

                                                                         [DONE] 
:: Reloading VirtualBox kernel modules                                   [DONE] 

When I go into the file specified it reads:

/usr/lib/virtualbox/src/vboxdrv/build_in_tmp: line 55: make: command not found
cp: cannot stat `/tmp/vboxdrv-Module.symvers': No such file or directory
/usr/lib/virtualbox/src/vboxnetflt/build_in_tmp: line 55: make: command not found
cp: cannot stat `/tmp/vboxdrv-Module.symvers': No such file or directory
/usr/lib/virtualbox/src/vboxnetadp/build_in_tmp: line 55: make: command not found

Any suggestions on where to go from here? I have tried continuing with the other commands listed in the wiki but they do not work without this step.  I have also restarted to make sure the gpasswd had finished and verified that my username was part of the vboxusers group.

Thank in advance!

pacman -S base-devel


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

Thanks! I have it working now.  How did you know from the errors that that was the problem?
