samba - Jan 2007 - Compiled smbd and nmbd doesn't start up

know that as my first day I shouldn't spam off this mailing list but :

as it tells I did,
but they won't be usefull...

http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/ 
compiling.html

I compiled the new stable version in /root/samba_test with
#configure --prefix=/root/samba_test
but when I launch the servers they don't want to rise up
neither
  /root/samba_test/sbin/smbd -D -s  /root/samba_test/etc/smb.conf
nor
  /root/samba_test/sbin/nmbd -D -s  /root/samba_test/etc/smb.conf
start 'em up!

do you know if could be such a problem with any ubuntu systems?

gday!

You'll need to tell us what errors are printed before we can help!

Try "tail /var/log/messages" if your system is set up that way.
