The vpn program tinc has the same problem (See: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=760646) on armel.
You need an armel (x86_64 doesn't have the problem), but no special setup to reproduce the problem: touch /tmp/tinc.conf tincd -D -c /tmp It will fail with: Error initializing LZO compressor! In case liblzo gets initialized correctly, you'll see this error message: Couldn't write pid file /var/run/tinc.pid: Permission denied The the following code snipped from the tinc's "src/tincd.c" shows that the lzo initialization fails: if(lzo_init() != LZO_E_OK) { logger(LOG_ERR, "Error initializing LZO compressor!"); return 1; } BTW: even "lzop" fails with the new liblzo library: $ lzop Lempel-Ziv-Oberhumer Packer Copyright (C) 1996 - 2010 lzop v1.03 Markus Franz Xaver Johannes Oberhumer Nov 1st 2010 lzo_init() failed - check your LZO installation ! library version conflict (2050, 2080) - check your LZO installation ! regards, Marc
