1: Is this an error? libnscache.a and libnspostgres.a
Posted by Abrantes Filho on 05/04/08 09:29 PM
I'm installing OpenACS in a new host, but during the procedure some wired messages (about missing files) are shown to me.

OS: SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (kernel 2.6.16.54)
TCL: 8.5.2
PostgreSQL: 8.2.7
OpenACS: 5.4.1
AOLserver: 4.5.0

The messages are:

1) During the installation of nscache:
make install AOLSERVER=/usr/local/aolserver45r0
(... omitted ...)
/usr/local/aolserver45r0/bin/nsinstall.tcl -d /usr/local/aolserver45r0/bin -e nscache.so
installed: /usr/local/aolserver45r0/bin/nscache.so (0755)
/usr/local/aolserver45r0/bin/nsinstall.tcl -d /usr/local/aolserver45r0/lib -e libnscache.so
installed: /usr/local/aolserver45r0/lib/libnscache.so (0755)
/usr/local/aolserver45r0/bin/nsinstall.tcl -d /usr/local/aolserver45r0/lib libnscache.a
ranlib /usr/local/aolserver45r0/lib/libnscache.a
ranlib: '/usr/local/aolserver45r0/lib/libnscache.a': No such file

2) During the installation os nspostgres:
make install POSTGRES=/usr/local/pgsql ACS=1 AOLSERVER=/usr/local/aolserver45r0
( ... omitted ...)
/usr/local/aolserver45r0/bin/nsinstall.tcl -d /usr/local/aolserver45r0/bin -e nspostgres.so
installed: /usr/local/aolserver45r0/bin/nspostgres.so (0755)
/usr/local/aolserver45r0/bin/nsinstall.tcl -d /usr/local/aolserver45r0/lib -e libnspostgres.so
installed: /usr/local/aolserver45r0/lib/libnspostgres.so (0755)
/usr/local/aolserver45r0/bin/nsinstall.tcl -d /usr/local/aolserver45r0/lib libnspostgres.a
ranlib /usr/local/aolserver45r0/lib/libnspostgres.a
ranlib: '/usr/local/aolserver45r0/lib/libnspostgres.a': No such file

Are these an error? Can I continue with the installation?

Thanks in advance!

You need only libnscache.so and libnspostgres.so, which are compiled and installed correctly. The *.a files are not needed for the aolserver and OpenACS.

Hi Abrantes,

This not an error, but you can solve it very easily, as you can see in Brazillian community Wiki:

http://www.softwarepublico.gov.br/dotlrn/clubs/openacs/xowiki/Reinstala%c3%a7%c3%a3o_do_AOLServer_-_Solu%c3%a7%c3%a3o_do_bug_no_Chat

Just run the following command before make install


make test=/usr/local/aolserver45

Then you can run:


make install NSHOME=/usr/local/aolserver45
