Please answer the following questions:
- what's your Linux distribution?
- which kernel do you use?
- what does "ulimit -l" show for "max locked memory"?

Thanks!

Did you use any older version of cpm before and did it run
cleanly or is v0.17beta your first try?

0.5b was the first version i tried and it didnt work due
build issues, submitted bug report even then (id: 1190234 ).
Been trying cpm ever since after release or two but this was
the first one i was able to actually build without any
errors during the build process.

And no, previous versions havent worked either - but they
have been due to build issues most caused by most likely
similar "bugs" then the first bug report i made as the
automake scripts (configure) didnt allow passing directories
for depending libs.

What happens if .cpmdb does not exist at all?

This bug will be fixed in version 0.18beta.
