Samba uses the TCP/IP-prot 139. But it can not start, because an user 
programm allready uses thist prot:

Brute force: reboot the machine and try again (just to be sure that 
there is no old version of samba runnning). If this doesn't work, you 
have to check out what process uses prot 139.

"fuser" has an option to find that out. check (x)inetd, look at the 
output of "ps auwxf" and think what it could be. Kill every thing you 
are not sure you realy need it (you may lear that you need it).
