[SOLVED!] segfault right at the start of the installation

[mhellwig]

I am trying to install scalix community edition 11.2.0 on an OpenSuSE 10.2 box with 64bit CPU. running the scalix-installer with debug-option leads to the following:

Code: Select all

./scalix-installer --debug

any help from anyone? in theory this setup should be totally pain-free, no?

the graphical installer doesn't like being run via ssh X-forwarding.

it works via VNC though. Now I have a different problem, but that gets its own thread.
