 Posted: Tue Nov 04, 2008 9:08 pm Post subject: Missing /opt/VirtualBox/VirtualBox [Solved] |
 |
|
I emerged virtualbox-ose, and it seemed to emerge just fine. However, when I tried running VirtualBox, it said it couldn't find the command! I went to /opt/VirtualBox and found that there was no executable file called VirtualBox.
I unemerged virtualbox-ose and installed virtualbox-bin, and that works fine. Still, I would definitely like to know why I didn't get my executable file with the source version.

What USE flags did you use when you emerge the OSE version?
What is the output of "emerge -pv virtualbox-ose"? |

It says this:
[ebuild N ] app-emulation/virtualbox-ose-1.6.6 USE="additions alsa -headless -pulseaudio -qt3 -sdk" 0 kB

| Enable the qt3 USE flag and I would then guess that the GUI binary will be created. Without it you probably only had the VBoxSDL binary. |

This is weird because I use Gnome. Might the qt3 flag have positive effects in other applications? I always thought the qt* flags were specifically for KDE. Anyway, thanks for your suggestion! I'll try it when I'm back on my computer.

The kde flag is for kde. Qt is a multiplatform (windows, mac OS, linux and possibly others) framework. KDE happens to be built upon this framework, but so do lots of other apps. For example HPLIP GUI is Qt based. Opera is also built using Qt.
Do 'equery depends qt' and you'll see all apps that you have installed that depend on the qt framework. |

Interesting.. thanks for the information; it clarifies several things for me.
I uninstalled virtualbox-bin, added the qt3 USE flag for virtualbox-ose in package.use, and it compiled fine with the graphical interface. Thanks!
