Hi,
after updating to virtualbox-4.0.8 I cannot start a vm anymore.
The following ebuilds are installed:
app-emulation/virtualbox-4.0.8
app-emulation/virtualbox-additions-4.0.8
app-emulation/virtualbox-extpack-oracle-4.0.8
app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-4.0.8
The logs mention that symlinks are not permitted. /usr/lib64 is a
symlink to /usr/lib on my system.
/ filesystem is ext4 on solid-state-drive mounted with default options.
lsmod:
vboxnetadp 4502 0
vboxnetflt 14541 0
vboxdrv 1745860 2 vboxnetadp,vboxnetflt
By the way stable virtualbox-3.2.12-r4 is able to run the vm.
cat VBox.log

Apparently, though unproven, at 23:50 on Sunday 29 May 2011, Nicolai Beuermann
did opine thusly:

Switch it to be the other way round which is how it should be. It works
perfectly here with the exact same packages:
$ ls -al /usr/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Oct 27 2010 lib -> lib64
The log entry tells you the software will not accept your configuration.

Now it works.
One question remains unanswered and that is how this wrong symbolic link
was created??? By portage?
