Hello Gustaf,

The fix in the script worked. I wasn't able to download xowf and the IT group hasn't gotten back to me about what is being blocked. Is it an issue if I don't have xowf?

no, xowf is (a) optional and (b) once acs-core is installed, one can get it via "install from repositpory" directly from OpenACS.

The primary reason for having xowf in the script was that up to the release of OpenACS 5.8.1 getting it from git was the only solution.

all the best

Guess, we should make the "install from tar-release" default, and let developer choose to use cvs/git as an option...
