I am getting the following errors on running the new Linux alpha.
Im using SuSE 9.3 with libdb 4.3 installed. Its a laptop so has a rather poor video card, radeon 7500 mobile equivalent I think.
The directory it is looking for the file in, is empty..

Here are the errors:

2006-03-27T15:15:12Z This can be because you somehow have multiple copies running, or your system incorrectly thinks a file is open. If this message persists, restart your computer and try again. If it continues to persist, you may need to completely uninstall Second Life and reinstall it.

Use tar xjf from the command line to uncompress the file rather than a graphical uncompressing tool. The latter leads to empty or missing directories (Read the FAQ).

I did this already, but perhaps it was a permissions problem!
Its fixed now anyway.
