problem to install virtualbox

[jsfarinet]

trying to install with sourcery i encountered the following error:

Code: Select all

make[1]: Verzeichnis „/usr/src/slapt-src/system/virtualbox-kernel/virtualbox-kernel-5.0.14/vboxdrv“ wird betreten
Makefile:194: *** Error: KERN_DIR does not point to a directory.  Schluss.
make[1]: Verzeichnis „/usr/src/slapt-src/system/virtualbox-kernel/virtualbox-kernel-5.0.14/vboxdrv“ wird verlassen
Makefile:39: die Regel für Ziel „all“ scheiterte
make: *** [all] Fehler 2
fakeroot -- sh virtualbox-kernel.SlackBuild Gescheitert

Any idea?

Just install the precompiled binaries from their website - this is one of those cases where that is a lot easier. Here is a forum topic about it, with some added confusion from me:

What would be the binary? rpm and then rpm2tgz?

Go here:
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
Choose "All distributions" for your architecture (x86_64 or i386).
You will get a bundle (name ends in .run).
Once it is downloaded type "sudo sh VirtualBox<something>run".
That's all there is to it.
