I am not able to run vagrant (0.7.8) on FreeBSD 8.2 even if VirtualBox (4.0.14) is properly installed:

> VBoxHeadless --version
Oracle VM VirtualBox Headless Interface 4.0.14_OSE
(C) 2008-2011 Oracle Corporation
All rights reserved.

4.0.14_OSEr74382

> sudo gem install vagrant --version 0.7.8
Successfully installed vagrant-0.7.8
1 gem installed
Installing ri documentation for vagrant-0.7.8...
Installing RDoc documentation for vagrant-0.7.8...

Each time I run vagrant I get:

> vagrant
Vagrant could not detect VirtualBox! Make sure VirtualBox is properly installed.
If VirtualBox is installed, it may be an incorrect version. Vagrant currently
requires VirtualBox 4.0.x. Please install the proper version to continue.

If you have an older or newer version of VirtualBox, please make sure you're
using the proper version of Vagrant. Ask the mailing list if you have questions.

Any advice?

PS
Running as root does not help.
