VirtualBox 4.1安装失败解决办法

安装环境和所使用的安装包如下：[root@ ~]# cat /etc/issueOracle Linux Server release 5.8Kernel \r on an \m

[root@ ~]# uname -aLinux 2.6.39-200.29.2.el5uek #1 SMP Sat Jul 14 10:42:52 EDT 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux[root@ ~]# ll soft/app/VirtualBox-4.1-4.1.18_78361_rhel5-1.x86_64.rpm-rw-r–r– 1 root root 80801380 06-20 23:20 soft/app/VirtualBox-4.1-4.1.18_78361_rhel5-1.x86_64.rpm

分别用从官网下载的安装包直接安装和配置yum进行安装，安装均报错如下：Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules [确定]Uninstalling old VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules [确定]Trying to register the VirtualBox kernel modules using DKMSError! echoYour kernel headers for kernel 2.6.39-200.29.2.el5uek cannot be found at/lib/modules/2.6.39-200.29.2.el5uek/build or /lib/modules/2.6.39-200.29.2.el5uek/source.[失败](Failed, trying without DKMS)Recompiling VirtualBox kernel modules [失败](Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong)

Installed:VirtualBox-4.1.x86_64 0:4.1.18_78361_rhel5-1

google出来的尝试执行如下命令：root@ yum.repos.d]# /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setupStopping VirtualBox kernel modules [确定]Uninstalling old VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules [确定]Trying to register the VirtualBox kernel modules using DKMSError! echoYour kernel headers for kernel 2.6.39-200.29.2.el5uek cannot be found at/lib/modules/2.6.39-200.29.2.el5uek/build or /lib/modules/2.6.39-200.29.2.el5uek/source.[失败](Failed, trying without DKMS)Recompiling VirtualBox kernel modules [失败](Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong)还是失败

查看日志提示如下“：[root@ yum.repos.d]# cat /var/log/vbox-install.logUninstalling modules from DKMSAttempting to install using DKMS

Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/vboxhost/4.1.18/source ->/usr/src/vboxhost-4.1.18

DKMS: add completed.Failed to install using DKMS, attempting to install withoutMakefile:172: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR=<directory> and run Make again。 停止。

后来经过群友提示和帮助解决了。原因是缺少了对应内核的对应的包，虽然我之前已经执行过 kernel-devel的安装命令，但是没有安装uek内核的对应的 kernel-devel，正确的应该是kernel-uek-devel。执行上述命令之后，，重新执行下安装/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup命令即可：[root@ ~]# /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setupStopping VirtualBox kernel modules [确定]Uninstalling old VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules [确定]Trying to register the VirtualBox kernel modules using DKMS[确定]Starting VirtualBox kernel modules [确定]

再次感谢群友，群众的力量的伟大的，哈哈！-The End-
