I run my /scratchbox/ inside a VM (Mint Linux). Works fine.
Did you install everything CORRECTLY?!

sudo su apt-get upgrade ?

Use this guide and just copy and paste it all and it will run PERFECTLY!

Guide to install SDK - PERFECT!

Just replace 'USER' with your login.
Just to stop people from getting confused:

sudo is an application that runs another application with root privileges.
su is an application that changes which user you are currently running applications as.

So, "sudo su" is to ask the system to run "su" as root and "su" by itself will change the active user to the super user, "root".

Furthermore, the argument to "su" is which user to change to so running commands using "sudo su <whatever>" looks both superfluous and wrong if your intention was to run a command as root.
