virtualbox.org

Hello, I am trying to get VirtualBox going on Fedora Core 10. The installation, build, etc., goes fine, no errors. Then when I start the VirtualBox application from the command prompt, I get the following error:

VirtualBox: supR3HardenedMainGetTrustedMain: dlopen("/usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox.so",) failed: /usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox.so: undefined symbol: _ZN8QPainter10drawPixmapERK7QPointFRK7QPixmap

Now I searched around on google and have seen references to similar errors being due to old version of QT. I have the latest version of QT installed, I believe:

qt.i386 1:4.4.3-2.fc10 installed
qt-x11.i386 1:4.4.3-2.fc10 installed

Please help!

Did you put yourself in the VBoxusers group?

Yep. Sure did. No love though.

Do a "yum update".

This has solved my similar problem.

Still no love -- as per below:

um@miami ~]$ su -

[root@miami ~]# yum update

[root@miami ~]# VirtualBox

There are a few prerequisites to do before installing Vbox. Check here for those http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=205070 and also read section 2.3 of the VBox users guide. If none of these work for you then maybe installing the PUEL version will.

Followed all the suggestions. Still no love. It probably has something to do with Qt4, but I am not sure what. Qt4 is installed... When I grep for QPainter10drawPixmap in /usr/lib I get lots of matches... The version of VirtualBox that I am trying to install IS the PUEL version -- I downloaded the RPM. Tried installing it using "rpm -i", tried installing it using 'yum'. Installation goes without a hitch, but when I launch VirtualBox, same error.

Try to update Qt (to 4.5) via yumex.

This error is one nasty bugger. It's been asked a few times already on the forums. Use the Google search trick on the first few characters of the error (Supr...) and check the results. There are various possible fixes.
