I then performed the following on a newly built drive:
apt-get install build-essential
apt-get install bzip2
apt-get install lmza
cd /c/backup
wget http://www.readynas.com/download/GPL/RNDP6xxx_4.2.11_WW_src.zip
unzip -q RNDP6xxx_4.2.11_WW_src.zip -d ./GPL
cd GPL/linux-2.6.33.4/
make clean
make oldconfig
make all
ln -s /c/backup/GPL/linux-2.6.33.4/ /usr/src/linux
KERN_DIR=/usr/src/linux
cd /c/backup
mkdir virtualbox
cd virtualbox
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/3.2.2/VirtualBox-3.2.2-62298-Linux_amd64.run
chmod 755 VirtualBox-3.2.2-62298-Linux_amd64.run
./VirtualBox-3.2.2-62298-Linux_amd64.run
apt-get install lib64stdc++6
apt-get install lib64z1
cd /c/backup
mkdir CDs
cd CDs
# copied target OS image here
# Test the Virtualbox
VBoxManage list hostinfo
Execution of the VBoxManage line still resulted in
VBoxManage list hostinfo
/opt/VirtualBox/VBoxManage: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
If I again attempt to load the apparently missing library I get
# apt-get install libc6-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
libc6-dev is already the newest version.
