Error booting

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. make clean
2. ./configure
3. make
4. cd bin (or not)
5. ./boot.sh (or ./bin/boot.sh)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would expect to have a server started and responding on ports 8000 or 14195. 
I receive:

Hi,

is it possible, that you didn't set a fully-qualified hostname?
"hostname -f" should return something like "mymachine.mydomain.com" and no just
"mymachine".
