the message comes from the filter proc of the xotcl request monitor. it looks to me as if you have the xotcl request monitor installed, but not xotcl and/or libthread. the xotcl request monitor is not part of 5.2.2, so its not a problem of oacs 5.2.2

Thank's Gustav,

The trouble is when you start installing packages there's no reference to the order, nor the consequences of the action. Now you mention it, I did try to get XO wiki up and running, so it looks like that's the culprit right now. Unfortunatly XO wiki depends on a filestorage version that's not available in the current oacs release, so it does seem to be related.

I think Janine has identified the basic problem, so I feel this should be taken up to the next level!!

Although it's not a 5.2.2 issue, it might make sense to create a step by step approach, so newbies can't scew up installation , simply because they see a functionality they fancy, withouth having the basics on board to get things working from scratch. The pre-install display does not show any problems ahead so it look safe to proceed with installation

I noticed for example that by installing blogger on a clean system, it won't work,but after a few other packages, ther's no problem. Can't we create a step by step introduction?

i don't understand the file-storage issue. it is true that xowiki requires file-store 5.1.0, but this is intended to mean 5.1.0 or newer. oacs 5.2 comes with file-storage 5.2.0d8. I see on my system in the xowiki apm/version-dependencies the following.

Requires service file-storage, version 5.1.0 (remove)

    * Provided by File Storage, version 5.2.0d8
    * Provided by File Storage, version 5.2.0d4

so i am wondering what's wrong. i can certainly easily change the dependency to file-storage 5.2.0d8 (or whatever) but then the people using e.g. dotlrn 2.1.* will be unhappy.
