I remember it has sth to do with permissions. The merovingian.log must be owned by monetdb. ls -l /var/log/monetdb/merovingian.log will show you the permissions.
sudo chown monetdb:monetdb merovingian.log should work. You could also delete the file, and let monetdbd create a new one.
Same applies to other errors you have.

Hi all,
I recently upgraded one machine to the April11 release of MonetDB. In the April11 release, what is the recommended way to start monetdb with the system, as it used to be done with the rc*.d scripts? For me, maybe a bug, the /etc/init.d/monetdb-sql script is broken (Starting MonetDB SQL server: unable to open 'merovingian.log': Permission denied ... and other missing file, permission errors).
Currently I can start the server using 'sudo monetdbd', but of course I want the system-wide installation to start with the system.
Thanks, Brien
