katsklaw, thanks for the speedy response. Shortly after making the post I removed the pre-compiled package I had used. This time doing the full make on it and used the same services.conf file I was using previously. Upon completion this time their was a services.log file, woohoooo (thats a good start). But my happiness was short lived, I then tried to run anope again and ended up with the same errors I previously listed with the exception of the services.log error. I came back to post another message explaining the progress I had made and noticed your reply to me. I adjusted my services.conf file as instructed.
the output of ./anope -nofork -debug is as follows now
