(In reply to comment #0) [..] is sys-libs/libstdc++ installed on your system? if not emerge it.
err. i mean sys-libs/libstdc++-v3
(In reply to comment #2) > err. i mean sys-libs/libstdc++-v3 > merged and fixed, libstdc++-v3 must be a dependency of virtualbox-bin ?

Created attachment 179344 [details] Modified ebuild for VirtualBox binary install. Changes the libstdc++ dependancy from virtual/libstdc++ to sys-lib/libstdc++-v3, to correct "error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5" when runing VirtualBox. See notes. Has added benifit of no longer requiring a build of GCC-3.3.6 if one lacks this on the system.
ln -s /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.6/libstdc++.so.5 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 This alone seems to fix it here. I also added a link for libstdc++.so.5.0.7 as well. Then I started wondering how to do this in the ebuild, and found that there are 2 other libstdc++v3 ebuilds, a binary install and a compiled one. The binary install in unsuited for x86. However, in the vbox ebuild, I replaced virtual/libstdc++ with sys-libs/libstdc++-v3 and tested it out, first having emerge -C libstdc++. This worked. Wanting to rid myself of the need for a (long, boring) gcc-3.3.6 compile, I emerge -C =gcc-3.3.6 libstdc++-v3 and then re-emerged virtualbox-bin. This seems to work so far here as well. Modified ebuild attached.
ebuilds updated on jokey's overlay[1]: sys-libs/libstdc++-v3 is now pushed in place of virtual/libstdc++ (the virtual is causing problems on many systems) [1] http://overlays.gentoo.org/dev/jokey
