virtualbox not running

[frapelli]

When I run it from konsole, I get:

[francesco@localhost ~]$ virtualbox
VirtualBox: supR3HardenedMainGetTrustedMain: dlopen("/opt/VirtualBox/VirtualBox.so",) failed: libGLU.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


So?

Thanks

Is this a new install? If so have you tried rebooting?

You're missing a symbolic link. Question is, why? Open a terminal.

(CORRECTED)
su -
(supply root password)
ln -s /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1.3.070502 /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1
exit
exit

Not a new install, neither of pclos nor of vbox. Till a couple of weeks ago VB worked. Maybe it didn't work anymore after kernel upgrade. Maybe, not shure.

su -

ln -s /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1 /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1.3.070502

Done, but still the same message, and VB not running

[djohnston]

In a terminal, type:

ls -l /usr/lib/libGLU.*

(You don't need to be root.) Post the output.

[frapelli]

[root@localhost francesco]# ls -l /usr/lib/libGLU.*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 mag 26 22:24 /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1.3.070502 -> /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1


"/usr/lib/libGLU.so.1.3.070502" and "/usr/lib/libGLU.so.1" flashing.

Thanks for your help

frapelli,

I'm sorry. That's my fault. I gave the previous ln instructions backwards. I should have paid closer attention.

I just verified that the package libmesaglu1 provides both the soft link and the GLU library needed. Reinstall package libmesaglu1.

In the meantime, I'll edit my wrong instructions.

Thanks djohnston!

Texstar bless you. Now it works.

Thanks again.
