Ok, my compiling/installation did not work out... but I don't know why... had no errors.
I changed back again from lightweight-genser to agile-genser-bootstrap and it seems it has solved.
Maybe the distribution I used for the VM causes problems (I guess I once had problems with bash...).

Sry, I was away when you tried to send on Skype...
I put it in, am currently shrinking the VM...

I guess adding a file of this size on wednesday should not make the VM much bigger ;-) (difference to recompile/link/install packages).
