If something is missing then this is a bug. Which VBox source tarball are you using? The source for the RPM builds are in src/VBox/Installer/linux/rpm and an rpm packagecan be built like cd src/VBox/Installer/linux && rpm/rules binary There must be a file /etc/distname which contains something like fedora14 to describe the Linux distribution were are building on. Have a look at src/VBox/Installer/linux/rpm/rules. Kind regards, Frank -- Dr.-Ing. Frank Mehnert Senior Manager Software Development Desktop Virtualization, VirtualBox ORACLE Deutschland B.V. & Co.
