slimserver software won't run on new 10.3.4 OS X install

I reinstalled my Mac OS X 10.3.4 system software last night, and immediately installed the slimserver software to run my Squeezebox. After the installation, I clicked the start button, and the preference pane froze. I reinstalled several times, for just me and for everyone on the machine, to no avail. In frustration, I ran Disk Utility and repaired permissions. This fixed the problem! Mind you, this is on an absolutely clean install of 10.3.4 (Installed from 10.3.0 disks, then ran Software Update till everything was finished). When I repaired permissions, only two files were fixed (see below). The install.log file was repaired, and I think that's the one that was causing the problem, but I could be wrong. Here's what was fixed when I repaired permissions: Determining correct file permissions. We are using special permissions for the file or directory ./System/Library/Filesystems/cd9660.fs/cd9660.util. New permissions are 33261 Group differs on ./private/var/log/install.log, should be 80, group is 0 Owner and group corrected on ./private/var/log/install.log Permissions corrected on ./private/var/log/install.log The privileges have been verified or repaired on the selected volume
Hi Chris. We haven't seen this bug before and the files that you mention aren't likely to be the issue. One issue we do know of is that the server will fail to start if the Home -> Library -> Logs folder is missing. It may be that DiskUtility created that folder when it wrote the log out. Could that explain the problem you are seeing? (The problem I described has been fixed in the latest nightly release...)
I believe that this has been fixed with the automatic creation of the appropriate logs directory.
There are 536 bugs in the database with targets of '---' that were fixed prior to new year 2006. I am setting them to targets of 6.2.1 to keep them from showing up in my queries.
