Thanks Ola!
That sample OpenACS 4 config file was very helpful indeed! With that problem out of the way I stumbled across the missing nscache, nssha1 etc. modules and I had a hard time finding these. Eventually I installed the AOLserver 3.2-ad12 RPM and was able to start the installation. The installation of OpenACS-4 (4.2.0b2) failed with the error message:
[24/Feb/2002:17:02:23][2875.3076][-conn0-] Error: Error sourcing /web/peter/packages/acs-bootstrap-installer/installer/install-data-model.tcl:

I then checked out the latest sources from CVS and the installation ran through nicely. Now I feel both nostalgic and excited to have the cool ACS 4 TCL toolkit at my fingertips again!
In the readme.txt file it says:
For installation instructions, please see
https://openacs.org/4/
However, I can't find those installation instructions (if they are indeed linked from that page they must be very well hidden). It wouldn't be too much work to write up a paragraph or two about installation or to link to the installation instructions that are already out there.
