Hi Tracker,
Your kernel headers for kernel 3.2.9-2.fc16.x86_64 cannot be found at
/lib/modules/3.2.9-2.fc16.x86_64/build or /lib/modules/3.2.9-2.fc16.x86_64/source
So looks like, that you are running currently 3.2.9-2.fc16.x86_64 kernel and you have 3.2.10-3.fc16.x86_64 kernel headers installed, so you need to just boot your machine with 3.2.10-3.fc16.x86_64 kernel and try installation again. It should fix your problem, please let me know do you get it working… :)
Worked like a charm! Bookmarked for future reference.
Hey JR
Thanks for your support, I updated the kernel to 3.3 and compiled the drivers with /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup and all went fine! thanks a lot!
Hello Tracker,
You are welcome! Excellent to hear that you got it working! :D
i can’t use “wget” command on my fedora 16. why…?
Hi abu,

Hi Jawad,
Almost everything needed info and everything looks good, but you didn’t tell which kernel you are currently running?
I guess that the just reboot is enough to get it working… ;)
Ok, perfect! It works! :o) tks
Thanks a lot.
Greetings.
Excellent guide – use it alot.
Gracias, fue de gran ayuda…!!
THanks a lot for the info.
Greetings
