Fedora Users — Re: Virtual Box install problem on FC10

ok, was missing akmods and other bits. I did yum install akmods (woo-oo I'm getting the hang of linux) and got a whole bunch of stuff with it...

rpm -ivh /home/yoram/Download/akmod-VirtualBox-OSE-2.1.4-2.fc10.i686.rpm

error: Failed dependencies:
VirtualBox-OSE-kmod-common >= 2.1.4 is needed by akmod-VirtualBox-OSE-2.1.4-2.fc10.i686
VirtualBox-OSE-kmodsrc = 2.1.4 is needed by akmod-VirtualBox-OSE-2.1.4-2.fc10.i686

What next?

PS: I tried to google "VirtualBox-OSE-kmod-common" without success....

Try installing http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/updates/testing/10/i386/akmod-VirtualBox-OSE-2.1.4-2.fc10.i686.rpm
instead of kmod-VirtualBox. When you reboot, the akmod will build
kmod-Virtualbox for you against your running kernel.
