[SOLVED] Parallels-2.2 Problem

[niko123]

Hello everyone,

I am using Ubuntu 8.10 and am installing Parallels, the installation went fine, but at the end i was asked to finish configuring parallels with this command.

parallels-config

After running that command...I go thru the entire agreement process...as soon as i get to the end it prompts me that i ran into this error.

Can not compile and/or link drivers. Read /usr/lib/parallels/doc/INSTALL
and follow instructions specified in this document.
Compilation log is available at /usr/lib/parallels/comp.log.7214.error

And whats in that log file is this...

Can someone please explain to me what the problem could be...i cant seem to figure it out...

Please and Thank you!

Do you have the build-essential package installed (gcc, make, kernel source, kernel headers)? If not, install it via synaptic or the command line (sudo apt-get install build-esential), then try again.

Will be installing parallels later today, so we'll see what gives.

I don't know why anyone would spend the money for Parallels when there is a really good non = open source version of Virtual box that does more and better at it.

Sorry I am not sure about your problem as I have not used it before but if you can't get it to work try the non open source Virtual Box.

Parallels are giving free keys for workstation on both windows and linux, so go grabeth one lest they perish.

What does Parallels have to VirtualBox 2.1 (PUEL) does not have? I googled "Parallels vs Virtualbox" and could find no reason to to mess with Parallels.

It's not like someone is going to cut a finger off your hand if you use one, both or neither. FREEDOM of choice ... You can have them all ...

You clearly have never met the manager of my university's ITS department.

O-o, one of those, I see!
Well, make sure you run MS VirtualPC then

Hi...Thanks for all the replys =]

I have tried your suggestions...but i seem to run into the same error. I have ever tried to uninsall ---reinstall. But no luck! Could it not like my kernel version...



PLEASE let me know what you get when you try installing parallels on your end.

[Dedoimedo]

I got the same errors as you, even though I have kernel source installed. I'll try tweaking this a little, see what happens.
