Matt, I downloaded the fossology 1.2.0 and tried to install on Ubuntu 10.04. I had 1.1.0 installed with apt-get install command, but was not working. Now I am trying to install by downloading the 1.2.0 version from fossology.org download page.
I ran into a lot of dependancy issues. After cleaning up the Fossology and Postgresql, it won't install fossology. I had to run the fo-installdeps to get the dependencies installed. I followed the manual long instructions. At the end when I try to start the postgresql, I am getting error message: could not create shared memory segment, invalid arguement. When I start fossology, it gives error: Logfile failure: permission denied. I am thinking of installing Ubuntu OS and starting over, will that make a difference in fossology install? I have spent the entire day trying go figure out this fossology install.

If there is a problem their is either an inconsistancy with their system or packages or, less likely, a bug in the packages. Gurbax, What distribution (name and version) are you using and what apt source are you using to get the packages?
