Hello folks, i install by emerge VirtualBox 2.0.2 with these flags USE="additions headless sdk vboxwebsrv" but when i want to start the application by console i have the next error:

deepyox@taritali ~ $ /opt/VirtualBox/VBox.sh
Unknown application - VBox.sh

I see that in this file there is no "VBox"

Code:
APP=`which $0`
APP=`basename $APP`
APP=${APP##/*/}
case "$APP" in
  VirtualBox)
    exec "$INSTALL_DIR/VirtualBox" "$@"
    ;;
  VBoxManage)
    exec "$INSTALL_DIR/VBoxManage" "$@"
    ;;
  VBoxSDL)
    exec "$INSTALL_DIR/VBoxSDL" "$@"
    ;;
  VBoxVRDP)
    exec "$INSTALL_DIR/VBoxHeadless" "$@"
    ;;
  VBoxHeadless)
    exec "$INSTALL_DIR/VBoxHeadless" "$@"
    ;;
  vboxwebsrv)
    exec "$INSTALL_DIR/vboxwebsrv" "$@"
    ;;
  *)
    echo "Unknown application - $APP"
    ;;
esac


I tried change VirtualBox to VBox but i have the same problem.

Change VirtualBox to VBox.sh, if that is the option you want.

A better solution will be create symbolic link to it.
Code:
ln -s VBox.sh VirtualBox


However in binary version, there is already a VirtuaBox executable in /opt/VirtualBox/.

Also, depending on your desktop, virtualbox-bin should put an entry in your menu. In mine (KDE 3.5.9), it is Kmenu->System->Sun xVM VirtualBox

Sorry, i am going to read the description USE flags when i install a program, i see that the flags -headless only install the text mode of VirtualBox, i didn't read it :oops:

Code:
taritali ~ # euse -i headless
global use flags (searching: headless)
************************************************************
no matching entries found

local use flags (searching: headless)
************************************************************
[-    ] headless (app-emulation/virtualbox-bin):
Install without any graphic frontend

[-    ] headless (app-emulation/virtualbox-ose):
Build without any graphic frontend


Now i emerge VirtualBox without headless flag and i have an VirtualBox binary in /opt/VirtualBox

Thanks
