I'm currently setting up an openca-0.9.2 RC2 test installation
with all components on one machine, running Suse linux 9.0.

The installation worked fine, except that it was unable to 
sign any CSR. The error msg in the web page was

Error 6761
   General Error. Error while signing Role of test user2 (_filename: 
/usr/local/openca/var/tmp/12.sig).
    OpenCA::OpenSSL returns errorcode 7743071 (OpenCA::OpenSSL->sign: 
openca-sign failed (-1).)..

After long hours of testing and strace-ing I found an execve
on /usr/bin/openca-sv failing with "file not found".
make install puts openca-sv into /usr/local/bin. A symlink 
to /usr/bin enables the signing process.

Did I do something wrong during installation or might this be a bug?

Would it be possible to improve error handling by simply
reporting things like missing files instead of generating
confusing "general errors"? 
Not to be missunderstood I appreaciate the developers work
on OpenCA, but it took me really a long time to track this
down.
