Dear and clever people
As a first time user I installed on a fast PC a new SID. Then I added the dotlrn lines to the source.list and did everything needed with update and install.
All dependencies seemed to be fine. Perfect.
Then I was guided by some automatic setup file and things started to get wrong. The whole process did seem to finish fine, but when I wanted to do the changes described to /var/lib/postgres/data/pg_hba.conf there was no data folder in /var/lib/postgres/. As aolserver was not running either, I did a "apt-get remove" of dotlrn, aolserver, postgres, then I did a apt-get clean and installed everything again, in the hope, of arriving at the menu where things got all wrong the first time.
But now everything did install without showing the menu again. And there is still no postgres in /usr/local. So please, what should I do?
I would be awfully glad about your support. We would love to test dotlrn in our institution and I was so glad about that (theoretically) simple possibility of a debian package installation.
Kind regards
Mischa
