It used to work. We have reorganized the way we build LWP (the threading
package) and it have only been tested on i386 and sparc. That might have
something to do with it. Try ``arlad -t --debug=all'' and send us the
output. 

You might also try do look at the output from dmesg if you see any
interesting entries. If not, good. Now turn on xfs debugging by after
loading the module typ ``fs xfsdebug all''. Try to start arlad. Now should
have lots of entries in some of your syslog files (usully
/var/log/messages).

Configure should figure it all out.

Try first the --debug=all too se where it ends up. A backtrace in gdb would
be good too.

Enter the commands for gdb:

	gdb arlad
	run -z -n --debug=alm
	bt
