VB5.0.x installation on openindiana oi_151a9

Post by mnespen »

Hi,
When installing VirtualBox-5.0.2-SunOS-amd64-r102096.pkg on my oi_151a9 based laptop I get the following error (started with VB 5.x)
Installing Python bindings...
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/vboxapi/__init__.py", line 124
from .VirtualBox_constants import VirtualBoxReflectionInfo
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
- Installed: Bindings for Python 2.4
- Installed: Bindings for Python 2.6
This results in when running "pfexec VirtualBox" (as root, to uninstall/install extension) the GUI comes up "empty" - the QT-boxes are completely without any text.
Running VB as a normal user works just fine.

Is there any way around this problem, and will it give e any other problems (it dont look so)
(Extension-packs can be installed via commandline, VBoxManage)
