Unable to install VirtualBox 2.2 in Sabanyon 4.1 Gnome

[antdjun]

I can't install VirtualBox 2.2 in Sabanyon 4.1 Gnome i686. I've read http://wiki.sabayonlinux.org/index.php? ... roprietary, still it didn't work. The error message is:
antdjun Desktop # ./VirtualBox-2.2.0-45846-Linux_x86.run
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing VirtualBox for Linux installation.........
VirtualBox Version 2.2.0 (2009-04-07T19:51:05Z) installer
Please install the build and header files for your current Linux kernel.
The current kernel version is 2.6.29-sabayon
Problems were found which would prevent VirtualBox from installing.
Please correct these problems and try again.

My system is:
Linux antdjun 2.6.29-sabayon #1 SMP Fri Apr 3 07:59:17 UTC 2009 i686 AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-58 AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

Could you please help me how to solve the problem? I just try Sabanyon, and I think it's good. Before I used Ubuntu-8.10.
Thanks in advance.

Did you read steps 7. onwwards? I wrote the guide.....

7. The kernel module fails? Ow well!

Code: Select all

cd /opt/VirtualBox-1.6.2/src

8. Run the make

Code: Select all

make && make install

9. Load the module

Code: Select all

modprobe vboxdrv

For albfneto: the link is http://wiki.sabayonlinux.org/index.php? ... roprietary)
I tried to install the latest binary (2.2.0) that I've dowloaded diretcly from WineHQ. Entropy / portege just offered version 2.1.14.

For Thev00d00: I didn't try the step 7 below, because the instalation didn't work for me. I just followed the instrucion under Manual and step 1 through 5, because there was the error initialized. It seem the instalation ask for the kernel header installed, as in Ubuntu?

Btw, thanks to albfneto & Thev00d00 for the replies.

For Thev00d00:
Sorry, I misstyped the virtualbox website Thanks. I've tried your suggestions with no luck. Error messages:

acer4520 antdjun # eselect kernel set kernelnumber
!!! Error: Target "kernelnumber" doesn't appear to be valid!

install kernel sources:

Code: Select all

I had to install kernel sources before the installation of devede would finish. The command you posted worked perfectly ( no surprise ). Thank you..........Carl
