4.2.0 vbox VNC installation permissions/packing list

[G. Paul Ziemba]

I am trying VirtualBox 4.2.0 from
http://people.freebsd.org/~decke/virtualbox/virtualbox-cft-4.2.0-20120920.tar.gz

It seems to run OK (win 2k and freebsd 9.X guests) but I am having
trouble with the new VNC implementation.

    % VBoxManage setproperty vrdeextpack VNC
    VBoxManage: error: The owner is not root: '/usr/local/lib/virtualbox/ExtensionPacks/VNC' (rc=VERR_SUPLIB_OWNER_NOT_ROOT)
    VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), component ExtPack, interface IExtPack, callee nsISupports
    VBoxManage: error: Context: "COMSETTER(DefaultVRDEExtPack)(Bstr(a->argv[1]).raw())" at line 854 of file VBoxManageMisc.cpp

I used "sudo make install" which resulted in the following file permissions:

    % ls -lasR /usr/local/lib/virtualbox/ExtensionPacks/
    total 6
    2 drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel   512 Oct 26 09:53 ./
    2 drwxr-xr-x  5 root  wheel  1536 Oct 26 09:53 ../
    2 drwxr-xr-x  3 paul  sw      512 Oct 26 09:35 VNC/

    /usr/local/lib/virtualbox/ExtensionPacks/VNC:

      2 drwxr-xr-x  2 paul  sw       512 Oct 26 09:29 freebsd.amd64/

    /usr/local/lib/virtualbox/ExtensionPacks/VNC/freebsd.amd64:
    total 82
      2 drwxr-xr-x  2 paul  sw    512 Oct 26 09:29 ./
      2 drwxr-xr-x  3 paul  sw    512 Oct 26 09:35 ../
     64 -rwxr-xr-x  1 paul  sw  63747 Oct 26 09:29 VBoxVNC.so*
     14 -rwxr-xr-x  1 paul  sw  13223 Oct 26 09:29 VBoxVNCMain.so*

Furthermore, they do not seem to be in the packing list:

    % pkg_info -L virtualbox-ose-4.2.0 | grep -i extension
    %


cheers,
