[Solved] Error -610 VBoxRT.dylib dlopen error failed: <NULL> macOS 10.13.3

I had been running 5.2.6 VB without issue other than it would blowup after I exported a VM sometimes. Today, after exporting the VM, I got a new error complaining about root access and uid's (I don't have that detail) suggesting I reinstall. I've reinstalled 5.2.6, 5.2.8, and the latest 5.2.9-121224-OSX.dmg without any luck. VB failed to load with this error to the console:

I am having a similar problem on 10.13.3:

Code: Select all

wnm3MacBook:MacOS wnm3$ ./VirtualBox
VirtualBox: Error -610 in supR3HardenedMainInitRuntime!
VirtualBox: dlopen("/Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/VBoxRT.dylib",) failed: <NULL>

VirtualBox: Tip! It may help to reinstall VirtualBox.
I am attaching requested files from a similar post for VirtualBox not starting on macOS 13.3.2. There is nothing of note in the ~/Library/Logs though I did see the fsck_hfs.log with the following mention of virtualbox:

Before the last install, this was the uninstaller output -- no errors I believe:

Code: Select all

The following files and directories (bundles) will be removed:
    /Users/wnm3/Library/LaunchAgents/org.virtualbox.vboxwebsrv.plist
    /usr/local/bin/VirtualBox
    /usr/local/bin/VBoxManage
    /usr/local/bin/VBoxVRDP
    /usr/local/bin/VBoxHeadless
    /usr/local/bin/vboxwebsrv
    /usr/local/bin/VBoxBugReport
    /usr/local/bin/VBoxBalloonCtrl
    /usr/local/bin/VBoxAutostart
    /usr/local/bin/VBoxDTrace
    /usr/local/bin/vbox-img
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.virtualbox.startup.plist
    /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/vboxapi/VirtualBox_constants.py
    /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/vboxapi/VirtualBox_constants.pyc
    /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/vboxapi/__init__.py
    /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/vboxapi/__init__.pyc
    /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/vboxapi-1.0-py2.7.egg-info

    /Library/Application Support/VirtualBox/VBoxUSB.kext/
    /Library/Application Support/VirtualBox/VBoxNetFlt.kext/
    /Library/Application Support/VirtualBox/VBoxNetAdp.kext/
    /Applications/VirtualBox.app/
    /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/vboxapi/

And the following KEXTs will be unloaded:
    org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxUSB
    org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxNetFlt
    org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxNetAdp
    org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxDrv

And the traces of following packages will be removed:
    org.virtualbox.pkg.vboxkexts
    org.virtualbox.pkg.virtualbox
    org.virtualbox.pkg.virtualboxcli

Do you wish to uninstall VirtualBox (Yes/No)?
Yes

The uninstallation processes requires administrative privileges
because some of the installed files cannot be removed by a normal
user. You may be prompted for your password now...

Please enter wnm3's password:

I am dead in the water until I can get VirtualBox to work again. Please help if possible. Thank you.

I'm afraid that our usual OS X guy doesn't seem to be around today. All you can do is wait.

Perhaps someone could notify socrates about this issue? He had helped with this before, albeit for 10.13.2. Unfortunately, no resolution was ever posted for that problem.

We have no way to notify Socratis outside of the forums, and I don't believe it would be appropriate anyway: presumably he has a good reason for being absent. Bear in mind that these are user discussion forums, this is not technical support.

@ wnm3

searching internet for VBoxRT.dylib implies troubles with permissions.

So, try

Code: Select all

sudo /usr/libexec/repair_packages --repair --standard-pkgs --volume /

Unfortunately, this utility does not exist for High Sierra. Is there something specific I need to do for that file instead?

** Problem Resolved ** for some reason, my /Applications directory was owned by me and not root:admin
ls -ald /Applications
above showed owned by me... easily fixed with:
sudo chown root:admin Applications
sudo chmod o-w /Applications
ls -ald /Applications

Thank you everyone.

Perhaps the error message reported for this condition could be updated to provide better detail?
