You are to give more information. Usually, when you make initialization 
it gives a lot of information to terminal. Looking attentively and 
checking step by step helps to find the problem.
File :log usually contains something like:

Analyze this in combination with output in terminal. There should be a 
dstart.error file with some diagnostic in directory, if there is no 
diagnostics, run "x dstart" in terminal and check the output to terminal.
ollect information and post it here if it is unclear.
