Hi Niki, i have virtual machines with clean installations of Slackware 14.1 x86 and x86_64. I have had trouble with building certain packages in the past, probably because I tweaked the VM settings without a good understanding of what I was doing. Therefore, I made this post in my humble blog, where I list my VM settings for (my own) future reference:
