Hmm, not sure on that. The symbol above missing to me looks like the Qt 
library (that the virtualbox GUI wants) is missing, and/or not in the path 
where the linker is looking for it. The symbol is just a mangled C++ name:

/share/SUNWspro_all/i386/latest/SUNWspro/bin/dem _ZTI12QListBoxItem

_ZTI12QListBoxItem == typeinfo for QListBoxItem

What does 'ldd' say on your virtualbox binary - does it find everything ?
