Backtrack 5 doesnt come with the kernel headers installed.So you will
need to download them and then proceed with installing virtualbox. The
commands are listed below
root@bt # prepare-kernel-sources
root@bt # cd /usr/src/linux
root@bt # cp -rf include/generated/* include/linux/
After this is done, edit /etc/apt/sources.list as shown below and download virtualbox
root@bt # echo deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian lucid contrib non-free >> /etc/apt/sources.list
root@bt # wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbox.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
root@bt # apt-get update
root@bt # apt-cache search virtualbox
root@bt # apt-get install virtualbox-4.0
root@bt # prepare-kernel-sources
root@bt # cd /usr/src/linux
root@bt # cp -rf include/generated/* include/linux/
After this is done, edit /etc/apt/sources.list as shown below and download virtualbox
root@bt # echo deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian lucid contrib non-free >> /etc/apt/sources.list
root@bt # wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbox.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
root@bt # apt-get update
root@bt # apt-cache search virtualbox
root@bt # apt-get install virtualbox-4.0
OR
just go on official site of virtualbox:
and then download following:
i386 for 32 bit os
and AMD64 for 64 bit os
then type
dpkg -i <name of your .deb file with its location>
