Tips for compiling VirtualBox OSE on lenny

[surreal <firewalrus@gmail.com>]

I compiled VirtualBox OSE from source on my machine.

Everything went fine, till I got an error from VirtualBox - libpython2.6.so not found.

then I did the following - 

root@indiaforce:/usr/local/lib# locate libpython2.6.so
/opt/openoffice.org/basis3.1/program/libpython2.6.so.1.0
root@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.
