I did not notice this bug report (if you see that there are open problems related to vde, please forward the news also to the vde-users mailing list).
VDE gets dynamically loaded into virtualbox if there is the support in the hosting environment. The error is to name the specific version of libvdeplug. libvdeplug is implemented to be backward compatible when dynamically loaded as the vde_open_real has a library version parameter. When a tool using an older version of the library loads a newer library, the library itself recognizes the mismatch and behave like the old version. So this simple patch should solve the problem. renzo ---- --- include/VBox/VDEPlugSymDefs.h.orig 2011-03-17 09:33:50.000000000 +0100 +++ include/VBox/VDEPlugSymDefs.h 2011-03-17 09:34:23.000000000 +0100 @@ -1,5 +1,5 @@ /** @file - * Symbols from libvdeplug.so.2 to be loaded at runtime for DrvVDE.cpp + * Symbols from libvdeplug.so to be loaded at runtime for DrvVDE.cpp */ /* @@ -43,7 +43,7 @@ }; /** The file name of the DBus library */ -#define VBOX_LIB_VDE_PLUG_NAME "libvdeplug.so.2" +#define VBOX_LIB_VDE_PLUG_NAME "libvdeplug.so" #define RT_RUNTIME_LOADER_LIB_NAME VBOX_LIB_VDE_PLUG_NAME /** The name of the loader function */ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Colocation vs. Managed Hosting A question and answer guide to determining the best fit for your organization - today and in the future. http://p.sf.net/sfu/internap-sfd2d _______________________________________________ vde-users mailing list vde-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/vde-users
