Description Ciprian Ciubotariu 2009-01-21 21:52:40 UTC

After a fresh install from the jokey overlay, here's the error on first run.

cipi@pink ~ $ VirtualBox
/opt/VirtualBox/VirtualBox: error while loading shared libraries: libcap.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

To correct the problem I had to:

pink ~ # emerge -av libcap
pink ~ # cd /lib64/
pink lib64 # ln -s libcap.so.2 libcap.so.1

as instructed on  http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?p=55838&sid=f204d35caf0c546230fb9daeb06e424a

Now it works like a charm.
