That just means that you've installed it the second time; the 
BEOS:APP_SIG index already exists, and BeOS gives you this misleading 
error message.

I guess you've installed the latest GCC and all? Have you tried to 
install an image built by someone else that was known to work on

In any case, could you please give the exact revision you tested? Is
