install of VirtualBox-5.2-5.2.22_126460_fedora26-1.x86_64.rpm fails; libvpx.so.4 missing -> duplicate of #18113

[George R. Goffe]

I have tried several of the builds VB 5.2.20 and VB 5.2.22) in order to get VB installed but NONE but the development version (which has a console problem) works. This host is a fresh Fedora 30 x86_64 installation and libvpx is at the libvpx-1.7.0-7.fc29.x86_64 level. I had to make a .so.4 link to the .so.5 library but this doesn't work for some reason. Even after running ldconfig.

Duplicate of #18113.

And fixed with 6.0, which adds a Fedora 29 build.

Hi,

Thanks for your help with this.

I'm running Fedora 30 now and VB at this level has installed and IS running successfully.

VirtualBox-6.0.0_RC1-127494-Linux_amd64.run

Thanks again for your help.

George...
