Solaris Guest Addition missing library

Post by philb57 »

Hello all

I am just starting using virtual box and it is quite exciting.
I have an issue though: Using XP on a dell M4300 laptop and Solaris 10 5/09 as a guest OS, i am trying to use a CAD system from that point.

If I do not install the guest addition, it works, but no graphic acceleration so the performances are horrible, plus I miss the ability to resize my solaris desktop the right way

If I install the guest addition for solaris, sizing is ok, but now my app complains about the libXcomposite.so.1 is missing (also verified by using ldd).

I would like to know where I can get this lib rerady to use for X86, but also if there is plan to have that fixed in a future version of the Guest addition package

Thanks
Phil

if no graphic acceleration, it will be very slow, I think you can try to extract libXcomposite.so.1, then retry.

done, but it is not enough
there are couple of other libraries missing and the systems complains about the wrong old version of libXcomposite
