VirtualBox 4.1.12 is release and installed on OpenIndiana 151a2

Now I've installed VirtualBox 4.1.12 on OpenIndiana 151a2.

With the environment variable LD_NODIRECT=1 the installation works.

Here is the changelog

Skype was still crashing in the previous releases. Lets wait if it is getting
better now. Maybee 512MB memory for XP is too less.

Hello, thank you very much for this hint.
Could you please explore where to put this envirinment variable ?
Do I have to set this variable in the autoresponse file or on a other place ?

Thank you for a answer.
Kind regards
Alex

I just have made a start-Script for my VM with the following content:

LD_NODIRECT=1 /opt/VirtualBox/VBoxManage startvm "Windows XP - Skype"


First I attempted to change the VBoxSvc, but than I have to take care for every new installation.
