XtraDB Cluster wont start with wsrep_provider

hi,
i tried to install the percona cluster on a fresh debian and even ubuntu system, but every time i’m ready with the installation and config the mysql wont start anymore. the problem is the line with the wsrep_provider (wsrep_provider=/usr/lib/libgalera_smm.so). when i remove the line the server starts without any problems.

is there anything i have overlooked?

syslog with wsrep_provider:
Aug 10 17:42:01 net1 /etc/init.d/mysql[10691]: 0 processes alive and ‘/usr/bin/mysqladmin --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf ping’ resulted in

Hi chriss,

do you have the file /usr/lib/libgalera_smm.so present on your system in that directory ?

if the file is present, could you paste the start of the log too ?

Regards,
