You can either copy the Docs from a previous release or mkdir -p
Docs/installation/html after running ./autogen.sh nodocs, it should then
install. I've just done it to be certain.

You need to docs for the webserver's help module and they haven't
changed since ages.

I did this:
cd /tmp
svn co svn://svn.freevo.org/freevo/branches/rel-1/freevo freevo
./autogen.sh nodocs
mkdir Docs/installation/html
python setup.py install --prefix=/tmp/xxx
export PATHONPATH=/tmp/xxx/lib/python2.4/site-packages
bin/freevo

At the top of the log I get this:
LOGDIR: /var/log /var/log/freevo
STATICDIR: /var/lib /var/lib/freevo
CACHEDIR: /var/cache /var/cache/freevo
Loading freevo configuration file "/etc/freevo/freevo.conf"

I have some extra prints which show so I'm using the correct version.
DJW: /tmp/xxx/share/freevo/freevo_config.py
DJW: /etc/freevo/local_conf.py

Can you deliberately introduce an error in local_conf.py, eg., add near
the top:
if True:
pass

You should see an indentation error and a traceback.

There is a new entry in freevo.conf, but you shouldn't need it and this is:
position = 0,0

It's for xrandr positioning and should default to 0,0
