Installing VirtualBox on Fedora, CentOS and Red Hat Enterprise Linux
To begin the installation, select the VirtualBox package and click the ''Apply'' button to initiate the installation process. If, during this process, the installer is unable to find pre-built kernel modules for the host operating system, it will attempt to build compatible modules from source code. If the installation is successful, a ''Software Installed Successfully'' dialog will appear and VirtualBox is ready to run. If the installation fails, a log of the installation process, including any errors which were encountered, is stored in ''/var/log/vbox-install.log''. Review any errors reported in the log file, and take appropriate corrective action and repeat the installation process. If the installation is successful, a ''Software Installed Successfully'' dialog will appear and failed attempting to built the VirtualBox kernel modules, the most likely explanation is ready that the Kernel development sources and headers necessary to runbuild kernel modules are not installed on the system.To install these files, execute the following command: <pre>suyum install kernel-devel</pre> Once any problems relating to the build of the kernel modules have been rectified, the build can be restarted by executing the following command: <pre>su -/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup</pre>  == Installing VirtualBox on Ubuntu ==
