I compiled VirtualBox OSE from source on my machine. Everything went fine, till I got an error from VirtualBox - libpython2.6.sonot found.
then I did the following - r...@indiaforce:/usr/local/lib# locate libpython2.6.so /opt/openoffice.org/basis3.1/program/libpython2.6.so.1.0 r...@indiaforce:/usr/local/lib# cp `locate libpython2.6.so` /usr/local/lib/ I then copied this libpython2.6.so.1.0 in /usr/local/lib and renamed it to libpython2.6.so VirtualBox OSE then got compiled without any errors. :) -- Harshad Joshi
