Hi List,

I'm failing to start RabbitMQ on Ubuntu/7.10 (gutsy) due to a
"recovery" error (see below).

Please find enclosed with this email the "erl_crash.dump".

I'm using Erlang v5.6.5 under Ubuntu/7.10 (gutsy) with "gcc" version 4.1.3 :

$ erl +Ktrue +A8
Erlang (BEAM) emulator version 5.6.5 [source] [smp:2]
[async-threads:8] [hipe] [kernel-poll:true]
Eshell V5.6.5  (abort with ^G)

Need help guys?

What's stange is that RabbitMQ works perfectly on all my other
machines (MacOSX, Fedora and a home made Linux).

Thanks in advance

Regards
Ferret
