Hi,
thanks for the help, I didn't recompile it but googling around I found
that it is enough to run:
find /usr/lib64/virtualbox/ -name \*.so -exec ln -s -t /lib64 '{}' ';'
to fix the issue

Hi,
Did you tried to compile yourself the kernel module for the
Virtualbox? Is not an hassle, needs an bunch of package, but always
works. Clean everything what you have did for VBox, even the hidden
conf files too in your home folder.
Here is how I do always:
1. Go to http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
2. Get the latest Fedora RPM
3. Install that through automatic installer, it will install few Qt
modules too, but doesn't bother
For kernel modules:
1. IF the earlier install successfully done - do: yum install gcc
kernel-devel kernel-headers (it's cca 25 Mb)
2. to set up the modules:
KERN_DIR=/usr/src/kernels/`uname -r` --->enter
export KERN_DIR ---> enter
3. usermod -a -G vboxusers the_user_name
4. /etc /init.d /vboxdrv setup
5. After compiling: Enjoy - and works every way.
Cheers,
Zoltan

Dear Linuxers,
I've the same problem the original op raised and more than a month later
this is still unsolved (at least on my machine).
I've installed:
- dkms-2.1.0.1-1.fc12.noarch
- VirtualBox-OSE-3.2.6-2.fc13.x86_64
- kmod-VirtualBox-OSE-3.2.6-1.fc13.9.x86_64
still a FC13 with the repo Steven's suggested but yum says that nothing
needs to be updated and still VirtualBox silently quit with the
VBoxVMM.so missing message.
Any idea?

The full messages is:

The VBoxVMM.so file is in the same directory as the VirtualBox.so file.
Also:
ldd /usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox.so
linux-gate.so.1 => (0x00bec000)
libXinerama.so.1 => /usr/lib/libXinerama.so.1 (0x00110000)
libGL.so.1 => /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 (0x00961000)
VBoxVMM.so => /usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxVMM.so (0xb7625000)...
shows its in the correct dir.
This thread suggests it has something to do with glibc:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=645500
This thread suggests it has been fixed:
https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1465
If all of this information is correct will it soon become part of the
FC13 yum update stream?
Thanks - Tod
I strongly recommend installing Virtual Box from the repo at
VirtualBox.org. Scroll down a bit on
http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads to find instructions for
installing the repo. After that, "yum update" keeps things in line.
