All, A colleague ran into a bug related to locale detection during installation.
I fwd the conversation and proposed solution by Leonardo Soto: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Leo Soto M. <leo.s...@gmail.com> List-Post: virtuoso-users@lists.sourceforge.net Date: Mon, Dec 22, 2008 at 5:12 PM Subject: Virtuoso Installation Problems on Spanish Locale (Was: AIR?)

After all the problem is quite simple: Installation scripts use netstat + grep to find out if the virtuoso server is up and listening on a port. Problem being that the output of netstat is being grepped as the following: stat=`netstat -an | grep "[\.\:]$PORT " | grep LISTEN` Which doesn't play well with my environment (Ubuntu 8.10, spanish locale), where netstat is i18n'ed. Look yourself: lsoto@spirit:~/src/virtuoso-opensource-5.0.9$ netstat -an | grep :80 tcp 0 0 192.168.0.109:53542 64.161.254.20:8001 ESTABLECIDO tcp6 0 0 :::80 :::* ESCUCHAR Thus, the grep don't match anything and the script think that the server isn't up. The obvious solution would be to change the grep line to: stat=`LC_ALL=C netstat -an | grep "[\.\:]$PORT " | grep LISTEN` Regards, -- Leo Soto M. http://blog.leosoto.com -- Aldo Bucchi U N I V R Z Office: +56 2 795 4532 Mobile:+56 9 7623 8653 skype:aldo.bucchi http://www.univrz.com/ http://aldobucchi.com PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION This message is only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is privileged and confidential.
