[rabbitmq-discuss] Newbie: unable to run rabbitmqctl

Hello -

Today I've been trying to get RabbitMQ running on my mac (Mac OS X 10.6.6).  I've downloaded and installed Erlang (R13B04).  I then downloaded the generic Unix version of RabbitMQ: rabbitmq-server-generic-unix-2.2.0.tar.gz.

When I start up the server, it all appears to start up just fine.  But running rabbitmqctl to perform any command results in an error.  Any guidance would be much appreciated!

Starting the server:

nemo:/usr/src/rabbitmq_server-2.2.0/sbin dswindle$ sudo ./rabbitmq-server

However, when I attempt to check the status of the server, I get the following:

nemo:/usr/src/rabbitmq_server-2.2.0/sbin dswindle$ sudo ./rabbitmqctl status
Status of node rabbit at nemo ...
