problem with memcached config with mysql

[paul.p...@googlemail.com]

Hi,

I am a newbie to memcached and am trying to use it with mysql-cluster ver 7.2.12( which I havent played with for several years).  I am running kernel 2.6.32-358.2.1.el6.i686 (rhel w/s 6.3).  I keep getting a memcached error when I run the mysql installed test scripts and I am using memcached ver 1.4.4-3.el6.  The error I get is the following.

ndb_memcache.basic                       [ fail ]
        Test ended at 2013-04-13 14:13:18

CURRENT_TEST: ndb_memcache.basic


The server [memcached.1 - pid: 30169, winpid: 30169, exit: 16384] crashed while running 'check testcase before test'mysqltest failed but provided no output


 - saving '/usr/local/mysql-cluster-gpl-7.2.12-linux2.6-i686/mysql-test/var/log/ndb_memcache.basic/' to '/usr/local/mysql-cluster-gpl-7.2.12-linux2.6-i686/mysql-test/var/log/ndb_memcache.basic/'

Only  154  of 2516 completed.

The memcahed config file is using the default on yum installation, which is

PORT="11211"
USER="memcached"
MAXCONN="1024"
CACHESIZE="64"
OPTIONS="-l 127.0.0.1"

I am using an i5 laptop with 4Gb RAM and 500Gb Harddisk.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Paul
