problems with try-ark

[Sang Y. <Sa...@Ov...>]

i'm evaluating ark to manage a large number of systems, and followed the =
test drive setup recipe to see what ark can do.  when i finally ran the =
try-ark script, i ran into an exception:

>./try-ark/try-ark                                                       =

./try-ark/try-ark: warning: this script may be overly paranoid and, um, =
wrong...

this was on a solaris 2.8 box with python 2.3.2 =20
anyone else run into this before?  thought i'd ask before i start =
digging through the *.py.

thanks
