Sadly, nothing.

Well I'm out of ideas. I don't build in root so maybe that is your issue. I am compiling right now in OEL 6.5 guest just to verify that there are no issues and if so I will let you know

This past time I have not been building at all as root. Just a plan ole user from start.

I just finished compiling and testing on an OEL guest. It works as it should. This tell me something (package or service ) is missing on the guest.
If you look on the build instruction section and OEL see if there is a package that is missing beside libvpx

Also these are the new requirements viewtopic.php?f=31&t=52330 but you can disable libvpx.

I've followed the instructions from the build for OEL.

Do you have a all inclusive list for required packages for OEL/RHEL?

Just what i already posted viewtopic.php?f=31&t=54714

So that is literally all the packages I need to build virtualbox.... awesome.

As a side question. Does VDE come enabled on the latest rpm installs?

By the way, thank you so much for you help in troubleshooting this.

VDE should be enabled by default but you can always add a switch to the LocalConfig.kmk to be sure

VBOX_WITH_VDE := 1

but I have "VBOX_WITH_VDE := " to shut it off which means it should be enabled by default.

So to make sure I am understanding this. If I install from RPM, and create a vm I should be able to put VDE interfaces on it, correct?

While I have not tried that with the RPM build it does work building the run file. There are configuration issues to take into account. See user manual for that

So I ended up not being able to build virtualbox from source. But it turns out the rpm build has what I need (contrary to what I had heard in the first place...sigh). So I am going to fly with that.

Thanks Perryg!

Hello,

I have been bumping into similar problems with my compile on "Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation release 6.5 " with VirtualBox-5.0.2

Any recommendations on root cause ? I did try setting VBOX_JAVA_HOME, but no difference.

Thanks.

I am going to need a lot more information than this to be able to help.

1) do you have a service contract with redhat for this build? Many needed packages are not available if you do not. Some get around this with rpmfusion repo added to sources list.
2) what is the build environment? IE: Kernel, headers, devel, Etc.
3) where does it fail in the build? Is it when building the GL package?
4) What does configure.log say? Does it mention missing packages?
5) have you created a LocalConfig.kmk and if so what is the content?
6) what do you use in the configure statement ( switches )

Also IIRC drm fails on 5.* to build drm in guests with EL 6.5 but not sure about host at this point. May be a kernel issue.

Moving to OSE section

Looks to me like a problem with the Linux 2.6.32 kernel headers. See here. That change will be included in the next 5.0.x maintenance release.
