[vbox-dev] Problem building with VBox additions on Oracle Linux 6.1

[Leigh Hebblethwaite]

Hi,

I have installed Oracle Linux 6.1 as a guest under VBox 4.1. The Host OS
is Windows XP SP3.

Attempting to build the VBox additions gives:

The OpenGL Support module fails to build.

I looked at the /var/log/vboxadd-install.log as advised. The first error
occurs here:

========================================================================
=======

There follow other 'drm' related errors, but I guess that they all stem
from this failure to find drm/drmP.h.

There is a copy of drmP.h in the guest system:

========================================================================
=======
[leigh at OracleLinuxLH Desktop]$ sudo find / -name drmP.h
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-131.0.15.el6.i686/include/drm/drmP.h
[leigh at OracleLinuxLH Desktop]$
========================================================================
=======

I don't think that this directory is being searched by the compilation
having the error.

Is this a known problem? If it is then please accept my apologies.

Is there a resolution for this?

Many Thanks,

Leigh.
