I am still having the same issue...

I think a pkgdb -F should solve this...

what do u think?
It cant hurt... pkg_delete -f should have solved it tho according to
the manual;

-f, --force
Force removal of the package, even if a dependency is
recorded or the deinstall or require script fails.

same thing...

when making

#make deinstall i get the same error:

===> Deinstalling for emulators/virtualbox
===> Deinstalling virtualbox-3.0.51.r22226
pkg_delete: file '/usr/local/lib/virtualbox/nls' doesn't exist
pkg_delete: unable to completely remove directory
'/usr/local/lib/virtualbox/nls'
pkg_delete: unable to completely remove directory '/usr/local/lib/virtualbox'
pkg_delete: couldn't entirely delete package (perhaps the packing list is
incorrectly specified?)

and when making install, keep saying that is already installed :S

try pkg_delete with the -f flag;

you'll need to;

# pkg_info | grep virtualbox
# pkg_delete -f virtualbox-<versionhere>

then in virtualbox port dir....

# make install

I suspect the make reinstall script failed to symlink the VirtualBox
executable into /usr/local/bin

Btw, skipping that step and doing a #make reinstall

it only takes few secs... and gives

VirtualBox was installed.

but when i run it as a normal user i get:

$ VirtualBox
bash: /usr/local/bin/VirtualBox: No such file or directory

ok maybe the reinstall is broke... try;

# make deinstall
# make install

when runned

$truss VirtualBox

it gives me Error in SUPR3hardenedmain...

How do i reinstall the package properly to get VBOX_WITH_HARDENING = 0 ?

# cd /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox/
# make clean
# make extract patch
# edit work/virtualbox-3.0.51r22683/Config.kmk (or LocalConfig.kmk) so
that VBOX_WITH_HARDENING = 0
# make
# make deinstall
# make reinstall

Thanks a lot!!

Hi folks!

I do have a problem when launching VirtualBox (installed from source),
when launched as a normal user it doesnt lunch. Takes few secs... but
nothing happens...

Did you "kldload vboxdrv.ko"?

Hi

Have you tried running it under truss ?

I think you might find that it will say - Error in SUPR3HardenedMain
and hang...

Solution;
Rebuild and install Virtualbox port after editing Config.kmk so that
VBOX_WITH_HARDENING = 0

Hope it helps

Cheers
