23: Re: Installation still broken (response to 1)

Just to summarize ... based on recommendations from Torben, I installed the FreeBSD OpenACS port, which uses 5.3.1 ... based on the aolserver modules that I see installed after using that port (first what I did manually):

aolserver-4.5.0_3
aolserver-nscache-1.5
aolserver-nsopenssl-3.0.b26
aolserver-nspostgres-4.0
aolserver-nssha1-0.1
aolserver-xotcl-1.5.3_5

I had installed everything *except* the xotcl module, so suspect that that was 'the missing link' ... everything else seems to be the same as what I had originally installed ;(

But, now its running with aolserver 4.5.0, postgresql 8.2 and openacs 5.3.1 ...

Ah, you installed a different release! The new FreeBSD port by Martin is quite different from earlier versions. The missing xotcl package you are mentioning is by no chance responsible for a missing "packages-install.tcl". Between your last installation (based on 5.2.3) and the current one (based on 5.3.1) there were substantial changes in OpenACS and in the FreeBSD installer. So all i can deduce as a summary is that 5.2.3 installation is broken on FreeBSD, the 5.3.1 port is much better.
