The FAQ describes an error, when starting on a redhat installation and where one set of libs are missing and I doubt, that those libs are found on the NAS, where busybox is a pretty limited OS.
At least, with a fast view, I couldn't see those libs in the standard /lib-folders.
Ironically, I did not but I will be testing it again soon and will share whatever finding I have with you once I do.
In addtion, the errors you referred to may be true for certain scenario to a given flavor of a specific distro but I believe what you're referring to is more specific to redhat os since, I'm able to install it flawlessly on 2 other distro's and it worked find however, I had encountered similar symtom once with Ubuntu 7.04 and I remember it was something to do with security and why I was interested in this discussion. (happened using Ubuntu 7x series)

why I believe that it would run is that from all other installs I've performed on "other" O/S platforms in linux is that everything pretty much seems to installs itself in one directory path of my choice. Feel free to try installing it yourself and correct me if I'm wrong. Right now I'm not at home to provide results or logs that you'd like to see but would be happy to do it if it helps to shed some light.
4) Type "mkdir ventrilo"
5) Type "cd ventrilo"
The very basics of the installs are as follows once you have downloaded:
6) Copy the tar.gz file into this new directory. (out of memory using wget command I think)
extracting the file:
7) Type "gunzip " followed by the name of the tar.gz file.
8) Type "tar xf " followed by the name of the tar file. (gunzip removed the gz extension).
All the files extract to same location (the default directory you create)
10) Type: "./ventrilo_srv".
Depending on the flavour of your Linux - some require sudo command to allow it to run as root otherwise, it does not work.

The one thing you could want, is to operate a server on the NAS, where others could connect to. I doubt, but I don't know, that there is a open port for ventrillo established on the NAS. So, I would suggest you first check, whether the server starts and is up and running. This you see with ps, as you might know and they mention something about a log-file, that should give information about problems and errors.
I've had no problem running the application - when I had checked it at the time I installed it but I will try to get all of the info you're looking for including any log files. However when I checked at the time when I tried, I believe there was no errors showing.

Next, if you find it running and got no errors, I would check against your Thecus IP with nmap, if that service opened a port and whether this is the one, you used in your client configuration. Without detailed knowledge, I bet you find something that points to a problem in following this routine and if not, you should at least get some information that may be helpful for deeper trouble shooting.
I think you mentioned a good point using the -d to see what happens when I try to run it in ssh. I will be trying that as well to see if anything comes up. There is a default port that it uses so also checking nmap would be appropriate course to look at. my port is triggered on the router to point to my nas using 192.168.0.100 currently for it. However bear in mind that when I checked - Ventrilo doesn't bomb out on me nor is there any errors from last time I tried. I will document what I get and respond to the thread for others to see.
Sorry for the min. info but I'm not at home to test at this time.
