After compiling coda-5.3.6 and all its bits, I have tried
to start things off, but startserver fails.  The SrvErr file
reads:

     Assertion failed: 0, file "srv.cc", line 1804
     VENUS IS EXITING! Bye!

And the SrvLog:

     15:56:20 New SrvLog started at Fri Mar 31 15:56:20 2000

     15:56:20 Resource limit on data size are set to 2147483647

     15:56:20 Server etext 0x80ee152, edata 0x81246f4
     15:56:20 RvmType is Rvm
     15:56:20 Main process doing a LWP_Init()
     15:56:20 Main thread just did a RVM_SET_THREAD_DATA

     15:56:20 Setting Rvm Truncate threshhold to 5.

     open_log failed.
     do_rvm_options failed
     15:56:20 rvm_init failed RVM_ELOG_VERSION_SKEW

The text in srv.cc reads:

        err = RVM_INIT(options);                   /* Start rvm */
        if ( err == RVM_ELOG_VERSION_SKEW ) {
            SLog(0,
                   "rvm_init failed because of skew RVM-log version.");
            SLog(0, "Coda server not started.");
            exit(-1);
        } else if (err != RVM_SUCCESS) {
            SLog(0, "rvm_init failed %s",rvm_return(err));
            CODA_ASSERT(0);

        }

Any ideas what causes this?  I have a Debian linux with kernel
2.2.14 and glibc 2.1.3 and gcc 2.95.2.
