[Serusers] Alternative to Mysql?

It simply won't start.  Am I supposed to run "./ser -f ser.cfg" as
root or myself?  It doesn't run either way.  It prints some 
diagnostics and exits:

  Listening on 
              127.0.0.1 [127.0.0.1]::5060
              209.179.6.12 [209.179.6.12]::5060
  Aliases: linux:5060 linux.research.earthlink.net:5060 localhost:5060 

But then it exists and there is nothing left running in the
background (and nothing listening on port 5060).

This is from a clean CVS build pulled just a few minutes ago.
