SUMMARY I now have VirtualBox 4.1.x working with OpenIndiana 151a.
Cause - I caused this problem indirectly. I did this by upgrading from GCC 3.4.x that ships with OpenIndiana to GCC 4.6.1 from the SFE repository. What I did was not necessarily a bad thing, but this (apparently) is known to break VirtualBox. Workaround .......... https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/1840 The error here doesn't exactly match mine, but the workaround does get my system(s) back up and operational again. specifically, the part I needed was the setenv LD_NODIRECT 1 Hope this helps someone else. Apparently, everyone else knew about this except me.
