[Starcluster] Starcluster git version: problem to start a cluster

[Thomas Deselaers]

hi,

I just tried to start a cluster using the git version of starcluster.

First I created a suitable ~/.starcluster/config file and then I start
starcluster start smallcluster test

Then I get the following output and don't quite know where to start
searching for problems.


Cheers,
thomas
