Because it's not in "/usr/include/linux/autoconf.h". Somehow you and I need
to learn how to convince the compiler that it should look in the "/usr/src"
hierarchy to find the includes rather than the standard "/usr/include"
hierarchy. Frustrating, isn't it?

Hi
I am trying to install Virtualbox 4.3.8 on my SL6.3. The installation seems to
be OK

However the log file at /var/log contains multiple messages like this

Actually the autoconf.h file exists in the source path

|So why should I receive such messages
