I generated huge number of compilation errors. It is not clear which version of the VB header files it needs in order for it to compile. My OS is Fedora 14.
Also, I found this script on google code site: http://code.google.com/p/vdimount/downloads/detail?name=vdimount.sh&can=2&q= which claims to be able to mount a vdi. The caveat is that the vdi has to be of fixed size. I do not have a fixed size vdi. Mine is variable size, and would like to convert it to fixed size so I can use this script.
