Hi,

thanks for the quick response,

I put SELinux into passive mode, and ran the uninstall ( again ), removed
/var/lib/dirsrv and /var/run/dirsrv.

in /dev/shm I have nothing, nothing is created there whilst installation
either, the directory remains empty.

re-running install fails the same as before, any other pointers would be
most welcome.  One other thing is this is a guest in Xen,  i run the
install with the -N option as suggested.

Nige
