[squid-users] ssl_crtd cannot initialize SSL DB

Hey,

I am using squid-3.HEAD-20120421-r12120 and compiled it with the
correct options(--enable-ssl-crtd). The problem is that that when i
try to initialize the the ssl_db via

/usr/local/squid/libexec/ssl_crtd -c -s /usr/local/squid/var/lib/ssl_db

It gives an error

Initialization SSL db...
/usr/local/squid-3.3/libexec/ssl_crtd: Cannot create
/usr/local/squid-3.3/var/lib/ssl_db

I ran it as root user. Dont seem to know what the problem might me

Machine is a ubuntu virtual server. Earlier i have been using it on
other machines easily without any error(fedora,centos etc)

Any help
