Virtualbox used to install on the old OpenSolaris. It is kind of ironic that
Sun created Virtualbox and Oracle still releases a package for Solaris, but
none of them will install. Why and how do I get Virtualbox installed, or is it
not worth the effort? If I can't run Virtualbox then Hipster is useless to me.
This has been discussed several times before on the MLs.
The error is that the pre-install script checks that 'gcc-45-runtime' is
installed but this package does not exist on Hipster, only on Solaris.
You can look at Jim's scripts to work around the issue:

Now if there was a page on the Wiki about Virtualbox, maybe we would not need
to answer the same question every month :)
