browsing through the archives i notice others are having problems with 2.5.1-pre2.
here are my results:

I've got the exact same error.

If some fields are empty or look unusual you may have an old version.
Compare to the current minimal requirements in Documentation/Changes.

I'm using an up-to-date system, AFAIK (Suse 7.1 + upgrades):
