I traced it to installer.tcl in the bootstrap installer.
It seems that db_source_sql_file is not working.
Are there reasons why db_source_sql_file would not work ?
The database server seems to have been installed properly although I had to put --no-readline during ./configure because my test system doesn't have it.
Another hiccup was with TDOM where I compiled using GCC otherwise the install would complain about failed sanity checks as it used cpp.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
