There should be some basic instructions in the INSTALL file.

You didn't get a prompt after that text ? If you didn't I would guess that
there is some problem talking to the vldb server.

Try start arla this way:  ``arlad -t --debug=all'', then you'll get a lot
of debugging output and hopefully you'll figure out what is wrong.

To start arla, we usully use /usr/arla/bin/startarla, it should work for
most platforms (we got it for solaris too in HEAD).
