Failed dependencies w/VB v4.0.4 in openSuSE v11.4

[hanasi]

I am installing on openSuSE v11.4 x86_64, from the rpm downloaded from the VB site. After importing the requisite key and verifying it successfully, the attempt to run the rpm returns the following lines:

ErrorL Failed dependencies:
libpng12.so.0()(64bit) is needed by VirtualBox....
libpng12.so.0(PNG12_0)(64bit) is needed by....

The default repos for this distro offer a libpng12, but I do not find a libpng12.so.0 with either of the "so.0......" additions. Where are these two files (if they are different from each other and from libpng12)

First make certain that openSUSE is up-to-date

Code: Select all

zypper update

Then install all packages needed to compile external modules.

Code: Select all

sudo zypper install gcc make automake autoconf kernel-source kernel-syms kernel-devel

Then install VirtualBox again and it should work after a reboot. Make sure that your user name in in the vboxusers group as well.

libpng12 must be installed. the message contains the exact filename, the file is included in that package.
