Bug 200167 – [PATCH] Install environment files for VirtualBox

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 197427
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Bram Schoenmakers 2007-11-24 10:50:04 UTC]

When you want to run /opt/VirtualBox/VBoxManage I got this error:

./VBoxManage: error while loading shared libraries: VBoxDDU.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So that means that /opt/VirtualBox is not in the LDPATH. This patch modifies the ebuilds for VirtualBox such that environment files are installed in /etc/env.d for VirtualBox to solve this problem.

Attached patches are for:
1) VirtualBox-1.5.2 source
2) VirtualBox-9999 source
3) VirtualBox-1.5.2 binary package

These patches more or less obsolete the symlink /usr/bin/VirtualBox -> /opt/VirtualBox/VBox.sh , but it's up to the mainainer to actually remove it.

Reproducible: Always
