Hi there,

I'm not near a Sun box now, but that library is somewhere under /usr/openwin ...

Do a find in that directory, you also might need to create a new link if the filename differs (a bit).

You'll want to make sure it is in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH or that it is picked up by default. But I learned that a particular service needs to be running for the library links to actually point to something. I was able to link to libGL at runtime only after starting

svc:/application/opengl/ogl-select:default

Regards,

And one more thing: Even after getting the shared library problems put to bed, I continued to get core dumps from Virtualbox until I turned on svc:/application/font/fc-cache:default.

Smooth sailing after that.

But VBoxHeadless still refuses to start - VERR File not found. From truss, it seems like something (the alien libdlpi.so, perhaps?) is trimming LD_LIBRARY_PATH and a lot of shared libs don't get found. Just a guess.

Hope this helps.
