Is it 2.02.97 or later? If not, you should try a newer version.
To debug, you then need to run the command with -vvvv added to the command
line. Post a link to this output if you want others to look.
I downloaded https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/lvm2.git/snapshot/lvm2-2_02_98.tar.gz and compiled/installed via
./configure
make
make install
on top of a Knoppix Live DVD
No errors in compiling and installing it.
Unfortunately I get the same error. This is the output of LVM2 2.02.98 command:
