I'm having some problems installing virtual box (v3.0.10) on the latest version of Ubuntu (9.10).
jon@uberserver:/usr/src# sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
* Stopping VirtualBox kernel module * done.
* Recompiling VirtualBox kernel module
* Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong
Looking at the log says:
Makefile:147: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR=<directory> and run Make again. Stop.
uname -r gives me:
2.6.31-020631rc9-generic
...now the problem is that there don't appear to be headers available for the latest build!?
v linux-headers -
v linux-headers-2.6 -
i linux-headers-2.6.27-9 - Header files related to Linux kernel version 2.6.27
i linux-headers-2.6.27-9-core2 - Linux kernel headers for version 2.6.27 on x86/x86_64

p linux-headers-rt - Rt Linux kernel headers
p linux-headers-server - Linux kernel headers on Server Equipment.
p linux-headers-virtual - Linux kernel headers for virtual machines
The closest match as far as I can see is linux-headers-2.6.31-020631rc9 but how do I tell the virtual box installer to use those instead? I can't see where I'm supposed to put the "KERN_DIR=" setting.. ?
