SLES 11 : virtualbox 2.2.4 is'nt installable (beta 3.0.0)

[klaus_ph]

[sorry, we're NOT talking about opensuse 11.x]

hi
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (SLES10) i386 | AMD64
on: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
is not suitable for new SLES 11. why?

simple answer.
SLES 11 is build with:
pam 1.x.x. (and has no pam-devel*.rpm)
Python 2.6 (r26:66714, Feb 21 2009, 05:33:00)

actual vb is suitable for SLES 10 (pam 0.9.x and python2.4)
dear developers: please build an vb for SLES 11. thanks a lot.
[or You are loosing SLES to XEN and VmWare... ;-( ]


yours very
Klaus



my try:
xseries346:~ # rpm -Uvh VirtualBox-2.2.4_47978_sles10.1-1.i586.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
pam-devel is needed by VirtualBox-2.2.4_47978_sles10.1-1.i586
libpython2.4.so.1.0 is needed by VirtualBox-2.2.4_47978_sles10.1-1.i586

nb: it is not possible to install python2.4 and older pam.

xseries346:~ # rpm -Uvh --test vb_300beta.rpm (not correct filename)
error: Failed dependencies:
