Hi Alan, Having compiled the latest Virtuoso open source 4.5.7 release I can recreate your problem. The problem seems to be because the VOS 'make install' command, that I assume you would have run installs everything as being owned by root (which is normal for open source tools) and thus a 'sudo' is required to start the database with appropriate permissions. See my output below where the addition of 'sudo' to the start up command enables the database to be started successfully:
