Did you upgrade or do a clean install?? You might have an old and
incompatible config file floating around that refers to a non-existent
log file. Did you check "messages" to see what the full error produced?
I would hope it was logged somewhere. Check to see if you have
a .firestarter directory in your home directory and cd into it to search
for some sort of log or error file. Hope you find it.
