Udanax Green crash, error response from back-end

[Berend van Berkum <berend@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,


I've tried the get the Udanax Green dist to run, but it fails with a 
similar error as Gary Mulder reported oct. 2005 [1]. The frontend starts 
but then exits because of an error from the backend. stderr output below.

There doesn't seem to be a core-dump as in Gary's case though, I've also 
put a list of the files below. 

I should say I'm more of a webdevver, familiar with webscripting and some 
python. No c. That's why I'm excited about this frontend (having read some 
of Nelsons' articles), I was hoping to experiment with a working backend. 
I've also read a good part of the Whiteboard stuff at the Sunless Sea wiki, 
but I did not understand too much of it. Never even implemented a binary 
tree, so...

Perhaps I should also mention I run Debian stable (Sarge) and use X
forwarding.
  
Any pointers on getting the demo working?


regards, Berend
