Re: Up to date Sid: Custom kernel, trying to install Virtualbox

Good evening. Up-to-date Sid, 32 bit.

I've been trying to install VirtualBox, both from the Sid main
archives and the Oracle
virtualbox-4.2_4.2.8-83876~Debian~wheezy_i386.deb package.

Both give the same error, that the kernel module cannot be built
because the kernel source tree cannot be found.

I'm running a self-compiled 3.6.5, and /usr/src/linux-3.6.5 exists.

Supposing that this is not VB specific (I might be wrong ;-)), source for a self-compiled kernel is pointed at by the symlink 'source' in /lib/modules/<your kernel>. What does that contain in your case?
