I'm not running a namby-pamby OS where you have no root access, I don't need to do a "sudo". Mandriva has full root access when you log on as root. ALL builds and installs were done as root. The only way I could get your RPM to load and appear on the RPM data-base was to use the "--force" and "--nodeps" flags, that was after removing the fragments of your software from my system. I can use other OEM installer to build modules without problems. It is your installer which does not function on Mandriva kernel-2.6.22-9 in all of its variants. That includes desktop, server, etc. The features in Kernel-linus-2.6.23.1-1mdv will be back ported in to kernel-2.6.22-10mdv, then maybe you software might compile on a 2.6.22 kernel. see:- http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/snapshots/patch-2.6.23-git18.log -- Best Wishes Richard Bown ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Registered Linux User 365161 OS Mandriva 2008.0 Kernel 2.6.22.9-desktop-1mdv HAM Callsign G8JVM : Locator IO82SP QRV all bands 80mtrs to 3 cms ,( non WARC ) http://www.software-radio.org.uk ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
