how i can install virtualbox

[newpcbsd]

hi
i am install pc-bsd 9
i want install virtualbox in pc-bsd but i want that from port http://www.freshports.org
i do this :
pkg_add -r virtualbox-ose
and
cd /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose/ && make install clean
this take time but show error
i don't want install from AppCafe its big .!

==============
===> virtualbox-ose-4.0.14 is already installed
You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again
by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly.
If you really wish to overwrite the old port of emulators/virtualbox-ose
without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
in your environment or the "make install" command line.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose.

hi -- if you

1) ran pkg_add -r virtualbox-ose

and then

2) ran make install clean in /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose

then you're trying to install it twice. the first command (pkg_add -r ...) installs the binary and the second command builds from source. you only need to do one, or the other, or install the PBI from the AppCafe [1].

HTH!
[1] it's bigger because it includes all of the necessary dependencies.

EDIT: if you want to install virtualbox, metasploit, or any of the other programs listed in freshports, freshports includes the pkg_add syntax for each port, so you can just use pkg_add. HOWEVER!, you may lose your packages during system updates, so you may want to explore the use of a portjail for this sort of thing. the portjail shouldn't be affected by system updates; more info can be found here: http://wiki.pcbsd.org/index.php/Ports_Jail

The error message seems quite clear to me: somehow you have already installed the virtual box application.

for PC-BSD, your example would look like:

pkg_add -r virtualbox-ose

and, you're right about the AppCafe's PBI files being large, but again that's due to all of the included dependencies. if i understand things correctly, after you download and install a PBI, there's behind-the-scenes checking between the installed PBIs, so duplicated dependent libraries are removed. i could be wrong about this, hopefully one of the devs can set us straight on this.

also, don't forget that you may have already installed VirtualBox. remember, if you've already run the pkg_add -r virtualbox-ose command, you've installed it. that being said, i'm not sure exactly *what* you installed, or how to run the application, but it should be there. if you are installing from the AppCafe, you may want to remove the package you've already installed, i.e.

pkg_info | grep virtualbox

pkg_delete package_name-version-number

see the man pages for pkg_add, pkg_info, pkg_delete for more info. also, the FreeBSD docs are great: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO...ook/ports.html

HTH

Yes, the PBI includes all the deps, but after installation many of those
are removed / cleaned up saving space
