installing vbox 4.0.2 from scratch on my ubuntu 10.10 system, i made
sure that dkms was already installed, then downloaded the vbox .deb
file, ran "dpkg" to install and:
$ sudo dpkg -i virtualbox-4.0_4.0.0-69151~Ubuntu~maverick_amd64.deb
Selecting previously deselected package virtualbox-4.0.

but wait ... is that header file above looking for the *generated*
autoconf.h file in the kernel source tree under <linux/autoconf.h>?
because that's not where it is, it's under <generated/autoconf.h>. or
am i misreading the above? can someone clarify what went wrong here?
