I seem to have the same problem. Here is the relevant part of the debug log

 INFO subprocess: Command in the installer. Specifying DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH...

indeed

Admittedly, I never really understood rpaths 😞

@andreabedini Thanks for adding the debug/links. I'd already uninstalled and didnt have time to go back for the debug when raising the issue. This has saved me the job :)

I had the exact same issue and debug results on OS X 10.11.6 as described above with v1.8.7, running any vagrant up or vagrant box add command (i.e. vagrant box add hashicorp/precise64). I downgraded to Vagrant v1.8.6 from v1.8.7. I was then successful in adding the box (box: Successfully added box 'hashicorp/precise64' (v1.1.0) for 'virtualbox'!). The issue seems to be specific to v1.8.7 on Mac?

Dup of #7969. Thanks for the report!
