I am trying to install virtual box but I am coming up with the following message, any ideas?
root@slitaz:/home/user# tazpkg get-install virtualbox

Please install the build and header files for your current Linux kernel.

#tazpkg get-install slitaz-toolchain

Sorry for the delay Mojo, Hurricane and all. Tried installing the toolchain. It was already installed so I tried with --Forced. No change. Still same issue.
Offline
Any help would of course be appreciated.

Try installing slitaz-dev-pkgs and linux-headers

Trixar gave both of those a shot and still a no go. I was able to get virtualbox installed on another slitaz 3.0 laptop I have I don't know what is the problem with this one.

Maybe VirtualBox has change on upstream meanwhile.
Try 'tazpkg repack virtualbox' on your other laptop and and install the resulting package.
If it works, get-virtualbox needs to be fixed.

I did a test install with get-virtualbox on clean full installs of stable and cooking.
get-virtualbox script on both releases does not generate /var/lib/tazpkg/installed/virtualbox/receipt
tazpkg repack virtualbox is not possible.
The script downloads/extracts Virtualbox , installs the build depends,activates the virtualbox install.
I don't believe it is creating/installing/deleting a virtualbox pseudo tazpkg
The depends that would be in receipt,not installed by build depends (libsdl,libGLU-mesa)have to be manually installed before the Virtualbox Manager will start.
Virtualbox once installed works ok.

Mojo,
Can you provide instructions?

Can you test last fix ?
For 3.0
# wget http://hg.slitaz.org/wok-stable/raw-file/af014c35bf00/get-virtualbox/stuff/get-virtualbox
# ./get-virtualbox
For cooking
# wget http://hg.slitaz.org/wok/raw-file/14a02389406d/get-virtualbox/stuff/get-virtualbox
# ./get-virtualbox
Note you rebuild the packages virtualbox-*.tazpkg with
# tazpkg repack virtualbox

@Bellard
get-virtualbox both versions install and repack.
3.0 requires more configuration,LOAD_MODULES=, addgroup vboxusers.
Can you backport the pre_remove() post_install() that auto configures from the cooking version to the 3.0 version ?
Virtualbox on cooking wouldn't start after install:
root@slitaz:~# virtualbox

I have Slitaz 4.0 installed on my Core I3 2 GB RAM, Toshiba C645. Runs awesome!.
But, i try to install virtual box with #tazpkg -gi virtualbox and it download a virtualbox-ose and then it's say:
Cannot load module vboxdrv or something like that.
Offline
Before you start virtualbox:
# modprobe vboxdrv
Autoload on boot:
# leafpad /etc/rcS.conf
LOAD_MODULES="vboxdrv"
Offline
Mojo, thanks... But modprobe vboxdrv doesn't work, why it will work on boot?.
There is a problem with DKMS in Slitaz-4.0?.
Offline
Sorry,no problem here.
I installed virtualbox-ose on clean install of slitaz-4.0
modprobe vboxdrv
Boot ubuntu 9.10 iso as guest with no problem.
The post install routine of virtualbox-ose automatically adds vboxdrv vboxnetadp vboxnetflt to LOAD_MODULES= so it autoloads the modules on reboot.
Offline
Ok, i installed slitaz-dev-pkgs an it works!!!!
