Are you running an old release (pre-4.7)?  This isn't supported,
although if someone submits patches to fix problems on older releases
they're usually committed.  In this case I have been given a patch
that "fixes" old releases (by not performing the new check for an
existing older installation), which I hope to commit in the next few
days.
