Hi I had monetdb setup working for  few months and recently, all of a sudden the database would not start any more. I have tried everything I could find in the docs:

checking permissons reinstalling the packages, deleting and recreating the databases, Farm,, etc...

Now I can't even start an new empty database. Here is the erro I get in the log:

2012-11-22 08:31:08 MSG control[15663]: (local): served status list
2012-11-22 08:31:08 MSG merovingian[15663]: startup of database under maintenance 'sapo' forced

2012-11-22 08:31:08 MSG merovingian[15663]: database 'sapo' (16066) has exited with exit status 127
2012-11-22 08:31:08 ERR control[15663]: (local): failed to fork mserver: database 'sapo' appears to shut itself down after starting, check monetdbd's logfile for possible hints

Any ideas why this problem may be happening? I have another Ubuntu64 machine with the same versions of monet and it works normally. I must be overlooking some detail of configuration. It may be a good Idea to add a FAQ to the docs with possible causes for well known crashes.

I am on an Ubuntu 64 bits with latest MOnetdb:
$ uname -a
Linux bon051.cloud.fgv.br 3.2.0-26-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 14 17:49:24 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
administrador@bon051:~$ monetdb -v
MonetDB Database Server Toolkit v1.0 (Oct2012-SP1)
administrador@bon051:~$ monetdbd -v
MonetDB Database Server v1.6 (Oct2012-SP1)


thanks,
