Iuri,

2. XOTcl, tcllib tarballs are broke.

Would you mind sharing WHAT actually "is broken" with >the< XOTcl tarball so that we can have a closer look ...

I verified back with the responsible bash script in your distribution (3-aolserver) and it seems that you fetch and use xotcl 1.5.3:

/line 116/
wget http://media.wu-wien.ac.at/download/xotcl-1.5.3.tar.gz

I would appreciate any hints in this direction. Moreover, if you find the time you might want to switch to the most current release, 1.5.6, which comes with improved robustness for the aolserver environment ...

Thanks for your efforts!

Stefan,

in the time i ran the script, 3-aolserver, XOTcl version 1.5.3
from http://media.wu-wien.ac.at/download/xotcl-1.5.3.tar.gz
had its tarball bad compacted.

when i ran ¨tar -xzf ... ¨, the tarball was corrupted. It´s just a matter of make a new tarball. just that simple :)

Yes, i will try the new version of XOTcl and let you know.

My efforts are a pleasure

regards,
iuri

You are sure? strange, i have just now downloaded xotcl-1.5.3.tar.gz and it is ok (downloaded via FF from the link above). For reference the downloaded file:

-rw-r--r--@ 1 neumann 501 1961146 17 Jan 20:54 /Users/neumann/Desktop/xotcl-1.5.3.tar.gz

MD5 (/Users/neumann/Desktop/xotcl-1.5.3.tar.gz) = ed246596550812375ff4461c07b89bcb

Anyhow, you should use 1.5.6 from http://media.wu-wien.ac.at/download.html
