One other work around can be to run it under starman instead of apache (like how version v1.5 of LedgerSMB is going to be), which can be done as simply as by changing to the /usr/share/legersmb directory and then running something like the following:
starman -I. tools/starman.psgi The starman package is already a dependacy of the LedgerSMB package. -- Robert J. Clay rjc...@gmail.com
