Yo Beat (and anyone reading)! My apologies for the false alarm! For the reocord... The problem: I hadn't the correct virtualbox-port.tar.gz file downloaded. I have been trying out nightly snapshots of 3.2.0 for a little while, and my script to download and rebuild the port didn't behave properly *cough* *cough* this time -- when it mattered the most :) So I fixed -- er... re-ran the script, tested the re-built the port and BINGO, everything loads and is working very well. I'm continuing to poke away at everything and I will be updating each of my machines one-by-one over the next day or so. I have to say, I'm very impressed with the continued improvement with each new update to the VirtualBox port. I can't think vbox@ enough! -Brandon
