Hello all.

I want to install the binary or compile the ose edition on Fedora 9. A few weeks ago I was able to compile the previous release, but I broke that trying to compile the 2.1.0 version from the trunk of the svn tree. Here's the error I get when I try to install the rpm:

rpm -ivh VirtualBox2.1.0_41146_fedora9-1.x86_64.rpm

Thanks for any advice.

Do you have those packages installed? And not just the development ones.

Yeah I'm pretty sure I have all of them installed since VirtualBox (built from source) ran beautifully before I upgraded the kernel. That's why it's puzzling.

Similar story. All the prerequisite libraries are installed. However, the rpm does not install:

• $>sudo rpm -Uvh VirtualBox-2.1.0_41146_fedora9-1.i386.rpm

  libxslt.so.1 is needed by VirtualBox-2.1.0_41146_fedora9-1.i386

Any thoughts as to how to get around this?

Turns out in my case it is simple a case of RTFM.

I had downloaded the i386 version as was installing on a 64 bit host.

It now installs cleanly.

Apologies for the posting.
