Hey Neil,
I tried to compile virtualbox using intructions here
"http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/VirtualBox";. And it was unsuccesful, I
have attached the build.log
As I said in a different thread, that version of virtualbox-modules will
build successfully against kernels *older* than 2.6.29.
I don't use vmware but I do use virtualbox every day and I love it.
It's extremely fast even compared to kvm, which I also use on my newest
machine with hardware virtualization support.
I suggest you fetch the latest stable binary package from:
http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
(choose the "All distributions" package) and run it, which will also
build and install the vbox kernel modules automatically.
It's very easy, quick, and simple. It even comes with an uninstall
script if you don't like it.
