Ah, that brings back memories now. (errm, not nostalgic, just
aggravated ones.) I tried some symlinking or something and it didn't
work. The trouble is that Fedora 9 has a later version--crypto is part
of SSL.
So, I downloaded the source, I think it will ask for some
libstc++ library and if you put in yum install whatever it says, yum
will get the needed rpm.
It was still relatively trivial though.

Building it isn't a difficult or tricky compilation. You download the
generic one, which has a .run suffix or something similar, then just
type sh whatever_they_call_it.run. It is probably almost as quick as
installing the rpm.
I would recommend first doing
yum install make gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel
This will pull in other things such as kernel-headers which are also
necessary.
After each upgrade of the kernel, you'll have to run
/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
It only takes a minute or so to rebuild the module.
Honestly, it is quite trivial.

Riley: Buffy . . . I feel like we've gotten really close. At
least I thought we had. I don't know much about Angel or your
relationship with him . . but . . . all I ask is . . if you're
gonna break heart, do it fast.
Buffy: What? You think that Angel and I...
Riley: Didn't you?
Buffy: No. Of course not. How can you even ask me that?
Riley: I don't know. Xander said...
Buffy: Xander?! Oh, he's the deadest man in Deadonia.
