Will not start on Ubuntu 10.04

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. cd /opt/flax/src/
2. sudo python startflax.py --conf-dir=. --set-admin-password
3. (set password)
4. sudo python startflax.py --conf-dir=.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Don't know what the expected output would be, have never gotten it to 
successfully run.  Here are the errors:

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

flax-source-1.0.0.tgz on Linux Mint 9 64 bit (based off Ubuntu 10.04)

I followed the tutorial here: http://www.rawiriblundell.com/?p=959 but did have 
to install the python processing and htmltotext modules manually. 

Please provide any additional information below.
