linux-ewbv:~ # /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
Stopping VirtualBox kernel module done
Recompiling VirtualBox kernel module failed
(Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong)
linux-ewbv:~ #
here is what the log says
/usr/share/virtualbox/src/build_in_tmp: line 99: make: command not found
Ok I installed GCC using Yast and re ran VirtualBox OSE
I got an error upon starting the new virtual machine I want to install.
VirtualBox kernel driver not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module was either not loaded or /dev/vboxdrv was not created for some reason. Re-setup the kernel module by executing ‘/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup’ as root.
VBox status code: -1908 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED).
Result Code:
0x80004005
Component:
Console
Interface:
IConsole {d5a1cbda-f5d7-4824-9afe-d640c94c7dcf}
I did as instructed in the error message and I got the following
linux-ewbv:~ # /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
Stopping VirtualBox kernel module done
Recompiling VirtualBox kernel module failed
(Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong)

I am still having the same issue.
here is another copy of the log after GCC is installed it is the same
/usr/share/virtualbox/src/build_in_tmp: line 99: make: command not found
Thanks for the info… I did as instructed, got another error that was a permissions issue. I went to this web page, continued to follow the instructions there. VirtualBox On FC6 / CentOS 4 / OpenSuSE 10.2 - Page 2 | HowtoForge - Linux Howtos and Tutorials
I was able to then get it set up as it should be done.
Thanks again for all the help, I would not have gotten this done with out the help from here in the forums.
