The post doesn't say, but in an earlier post, you mention Ubuntu Intrepid. Is that what you managed to build VirtualBox 1.6 on? I'm trying to build it on Ubuntu Hardy. I noticed the debian directory in the tarball from Sun. However, I replaced it with the one from svn://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-virtualbox/trunk, since that's what the Ubuntu source package seems to be based on. It's not working for me yet, apparently because I need a newer version of kBuild. Zelut, which distribution are you using? The post doesn’t say, but in an earlier post, you mention Ubuntu Intrepid.

I ask because it looks like the build is looking for a 64bit library. Maybe pbuilder needs the 64bit x11 library installed to build a version that is good for 32 and 64 bit.

I am not sure you need it for this build, however it could be worth checking.http://tinyurl.com/2y9m54 Have you enabled Universe support in pbuilder?
