On gentoo, a typical install currently goes like this:

emerge postgresql
emerge aolserver
emerge nscache
emerge nssha1
emerge nspostgres
emerge nsxml
emerge openfts
(download and install openacs code/sql setup)

When I'm done making it (soon), I will release an ebuild for openacs itself that depends on the above and optionally utilizes imagemagick, daemontools etc. if they are installed:

emerge openacs

Lastly, what about having a nice non-manual db setup script?

psql < openacs-setup.sql

A 9-line install doc for Gentoo! I will be happy to contribute the Gentoo install doc very soon...

I was looking into doing something similar for FreeBSD, so that you could do just:

portinstal www/openacs

and be almost done with... Unfortunately, so far it only fetches allrequired stuff, but does not build anything but AOLServer and PostgreSQl (and that is only because there is dependency info in port Makefile)...

I've done some work to try to make this happen. It's got a ways to go though.
