Header files for Virtualbox 2.2.2 ?

[Thomas Gilliard]

I am trying to install virtualbox 2.2.2 on Fedora 11 upgraded from 
Fedora Preview.
I am using 2.6.29.3-155.fe11.i586.PAE kernel
both VMPlayer and Virtualbox cannot find and compile header files to match.
(installed kdms)

Help-any advise greatly appreciated.

Did you try this?
1. make sure the kennel version is the same with kernel-headers
2. yum install kernel-headers kernel-devel gcc

hope that will help :)

                            ^  
^^^^^^^^
Such a kernel does not exist. I guess it's fc11 and i686.PAE?

Not if it's really the PAE-Kernel:

Ohh, and kernel-headers should normally not be needed to compile kernel
modules. So a simple

 yum install kernel-PAE-devel gcc

should do the trick. And BTW: RPM Fusion offers the OSE-Variant of
virtualbox, which might be easier to install and setup ;-)
