I did the CVS thing again from the beginning (My Tomboy notes)
How to:
Necessary Packages
1) apt-get install gcc g++ bcc iasl xsltproc xalan libxalan110-dev uuid-dev \
zlib1g-dev libidl-dev libsdl1.2-dev libxcursor-dev \
libqt3-headers libqt3-mt-dev libasound2-dev libstdc++5 libhal-dev kbuild subversion
2)Check out from the Subversion server.
svn co http://virtualbox.org/svn/vbox/trunk vbox
3) cd vbox
4) ./configure
5) source ./env.sh
6) kmk all
7) cd out/linux.x86/release/bin/src
make
sudo make install
cd ..
modprobe vboxdrv
sudo adduser [username] vboxusers
9) sudo chmod 660 /dev/vboxdrv sudo chgrp vboxusers /dev/vboxdrv
10) LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./VirtualBox
Now I am still having trouble getting it into my gnome menu's.

OLD POST BELOW:
..........................................................................................................
I seem to have messed up the permissions. I am only able to run Virtualbox-OSE as root.
How can I fix?
A description of the mess below!:
