Shib SP Daemon refuses to run

If you experience this when you just finished building SP and have encountered some compilation issue previously, then the problem could be that:

• you've compiled some libraries using a version of gcc/++ on different version to the final components (i.e. building 2 components on gcc-4.1 and then switching to gcc-3.3 on other components)

If that is the case, then you need to recompile and build all components on the correct gcc/++.

If you encounter this after system upgrade, then chances you've upgraded one of the core component required for shib SP, such as openssl etc. A recompile and rebuild usually will fix your problem

Try to run shibd with debug mode on (-t or -check, -debug ). This may give further indication. A segmentation fault (seg fault) typically caused by the 2 above reasons. If you get other errors, then time to debug...
