virtualbox-ose segfaults on 10.0

Thu Dec 26 06:51:42 UTC 2013

I’ve been doing some more testing and your port works in FreeBSD 10.0 RC2 x64 as long as I don’t use KDE.  If using KDE I can get it to work without the segfault by unsetting QT_PLUGIN_PATH in Konsole.  

It does not work whatsoever with PCBSD 10 as of the p1-12-23-2013 release.  http://iso.cdn.pcbsd.org/10.0-RELEASE/amd64

I can’t seem to track down what’s so much different that it doesn’t work at all in PCBSD 10.  I’ve even started with just a plain session with no extra environment variables.  I suppose that part is not necessarily a problem with your port.  

I’m wondering if perhaps the QT_PLUGIN_PATH issue was solved it might also solve whatever is causing PCBSD not to work.  For testing purposes would compiling without hardening do any good, trying random versions of gcc?  Is there anything else I could try on my end to help track down that issue?
