I'm trying out the Cherokee http server on a seemingly fine machine. Following simple set-up instructions, I tried running cherokee-admin-launcher but it printed error messages and hung up. Ctrl-C did not kill it; I had to kill -9 it from another xterm. OTOH, cherokee-admin ran fine (or at least got a lot further). What is the problem with python and cherokee-admin-launcher, and how to fix it?

[root@iron rc.d]# cherokee-admin-launcher 
Checking TCP port 9090 availability.. OK
Launching: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib /usr/sbin/cherokee-admin
