[OpenIndiana-discuss] VirtualBox problem on OI_151a

[Hans J. Albertsson]

I did

env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/sfw/lib/amd64 /opt/VirtualBox/VirtualBox

i e I actually put that verbatim in the panel launcher, and now 
VirtualBox works, and I have my Electronic id's accessible again....

Thanks!

Partly for taking it seriously, and second for actually giving the exact 
solution pointer.
