A couple more notes about AOL 4, ACS 5 and OS X.

I installed Panther on my machine this weekend and upgraded to openacs-5.0.0a1.tar.gz. It took about an hour to get running and I ran into 2 problems.

  1. postgresql-7.3.4 does not build under Panther. I'm not sure why, I just used the version I built under 10.2. I think Panther uses a new version of gcc.
  2. I had to add package require tdom to tcl/0-acs-init.tcl.

Just in case you are wondering so far I think Panther is a good upgrade. It seems faster although I did replace my 20gig with a 120 so that could have something to do with it. Also I upgraded my production server (> 100,000 hits per day) to AOL4 a couple of weeks ago. I had 3 or 4 easily fixed compatablity problems but everything seems fine now. TCL code runs about 20% faster (measured with dev support) and TCL package compatibilty is much better. Also a good upgrade.
