My hunch is that it's something to do with Seems like I got no suck lucky user :-( > permissions on Sys5 IPC queues or something.

It seems like it does not use Sys5 IPC at all or at least does not make calls looking like it. It uses an unix-domain socket with long name in /tmp and it seems to work OK (reads and writes through it show up in ktrace). I have even found out why the setup starts: because this clever program calls the setup script. The only question left is why does it do that ? :-( I also have no java support installed. From the message it gave during setup it looked like the java support was optional but not I start thinking whether could it cause this infinite setup. By the way, the exact version I'm trying to install seems to be 5.17, at least all the libraries have *517* in their names. Maybe this also makes some difference. -SB To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
