Forum OpenACS Q&A: OpenACS on OpenSolaris Indiana

OpenACS Fans,

I just wanted to report that after several tries I finally got AOLserver, all the needed modules, and OpenACS installed on an OpenSolaris Indiana(SunOS Blaidd-Drwg 5.11 snv_93 i86pc i386 i86pc) box.

I think most of my initial failures were due to using the Sun Studio C compiler. I neglected to set my CC environment variable before trying to install AOLserver. ./configure kept trying to find the Sun Studio C compiler, so I installed Sun Studio. I got everything compiled and installed and could run nsd by itself. But, when trying to fire up OpenACS it kept failing. If I remember correctly, something was getting a signal 11.

Anyway, after setting CC to gcc, wiping out everything I had installed, and rebuilding everything with gcc, I'm up and running!!!!
