 |
|
I have emerged virtualbox-ose-3.0.6, however no new icons show up in the Gnome menus. The installation completed with no errors. In a terminal, I type VirtualBox, both as regular user and root, to no effect:
| Code: | isaias@gentoo ~ $ VirtualBox
-bash: VirtualBox: command not found
gentoo isaias # VirtualBox
bash: VirtualBox: command not found |
A locate virtualbox-ose yields all the things that are normally there as part of the portage tree, and the installed files on my hard drive. I'm not sure what to do.

What gives the following :
| Quote: |
equery files virtualbox-ose | grep bin
|
Or some similar equery command to find out the exact name of the executable generated by compilation. |

Here is the output of equery files virtualbox-ose | grep bin:
| Code: | isaias@gentoo ~ $ equery files virtualbox-ose | grep bin
/usr/bin
/usr/bin/VBoxHeadless
/usr/bin/VBoxManage
/usr/bin/VBoxSDL
/usr/bin/VBoxTunctl
/usr/bin/VBoxVRDP |
Any of those binaries that I try to load in console only give console output/interface to VirtualBox. None of them will pop up a GUI frontend.
Does the virtualbox-ose GUI need qt4? Here are my USE flags:
| Code: | isaias@gentoo ~ $ emerge -pv virtualbox-ose
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ] app-emulation/virtualbox-ose-3.0.6 USE="additions alsa hal opengl python -headless -pulseaudio* -qt4 -sdk -vboxwebsrv" 0 kB |

I don't know because I used the binary version.
But probably it's worth the try of using qt4 for this package. |

I will try this building with USE="qt4" then, as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qt_(toolkit)#Applications_built_using_Qt has VirtualBox in the list.  |

| You need to install virtualbox-ose with qt4 support, USE="qt4". Problem solved. |
