That doesn't work for me. There are a whole bunch of additional 
parameters required, such as the node name and the mnesia dir.

You really should use the startup script in scripts/rabbitmq-server, e.g.
  RABBITMQ_LOG_BASE=/tmp RABBITMQ_MNESIA_BASE=/tmp scripts/rabbitmq-server

You can also just type 'make run'.

That is due to a bug in the tests we fixed a while ago but that hasn't 
been qa'ed and merged into 'default' yet. Try the bug20444 branch (e.g. 
hg up -C bug20444).

Alternatively, the v1_5 branch works, i.e. try
   (cd rabbitmq-codegen; hg up -C v1_5)
   (cd rabbitmq-server; hg up -C v1_5; make clean all)
   (cd rabbitmq-erlang-client; hg up -C v1_5; make)
and then
    cd rabbitmq-server; make run
and
    cd rabbitmq-erlang-client; make test_network
