Problem starting OpenVPN

If I want to start OpenVPN via Plesk I get an error msg.
In /var/log/messages I find:

OpenVPN 2.0 i686-suse-linux [CRYPTO] [LZO] [EPOLL] built on Aug 24 2005

I am running Suse 9.3 and Plesk 7.5

What is wrong?
Thx,

try disabling comp-lzo in the conf file on botht the server and client. This worked for me
 
i found just one conf file openvpn.conf ..i commented the line out. Is there anything else to be done ?
