awesome.  will try that on another machine where I have OME successfuly
installed.  but, if you never actually do a successful installation, you
can't do that, right?

I'm on Debian linux.
uname -a
Linux hammer 2.6.12-1-686-smp #1 SMP Tue Sep 6 15:52:07 UTC 2005 i686 GNU/Linux

I've already installed it successfully on a very similar machine.

I've tried on 2.4.0 (from stable.tar.gz on the download site) as well as a
fresh CVS code-base...and they all stop at the same error.

What is the installer trying to do at that point where it fails?  Is it
failing at parsing the xml data...or failing at trying to upload something
to the OMEIS?  Could that be a firewall-related issue (been looking into
this but can't seem to find anything on this machine that would hinder
uploading over cgi's).  I've also looked into gcc issues, trying to
install with gcc-3.3 and gcc-4.0...but that doesn't matter it seems.


Thanks a lot Ilya!
