Forum OpenACS Development: Installing 4.x from scratch

Has anyone installed 4.x from scratch yet (not updating from 3.x)? Here's where it chokes on me:

This happens while loading the kernel data (after hitting the first "next").

Your post makes it clear that some of the datamodel is loading, how many "create" and similar things were done before it crapped out on you?

It does 674 according to my count.

Ah, I probably should have mentioned that earlier.  I'm running on FreeBSD 4.3.

Well I've tried to reisntall today and all worked fine installing
openacs4 base system.

When I tried to install aditional packages I've got some errors,
I've done some corrections on acs-messaging and general-comments
and discover that in acs-create was left the "default_context"
in the postgresql port.

I did the corrections and it works fine now, at least the installation
goes till the end.

Except for static-pages, wap, ldap and other because version.

PS.: Going through the correction proccess I discovered that not
all of us is using a start transaction at the begning of each
sql file, I did it in some of then that I worked on and that make
a lot easier to correct problems because till we correct all the
big mistakes we don't need restart the installation from zero
because the when the errors are detected by the installation
proccess part of the package was installed and making impossible
restart the proccess again.
Please let's think on it !

I've installed the code with my corrections in my cvsserver at:

http://unolotiene.com

If someone want's can access it with "anonymous" username.

cvs -d :pserver:mailto:anonymous@unolotiene.com:/home/mingo/cvsroot checkout openacs4/packages/acs-messaging

cvs -d :pserver:mailto:anonymous@unolotiene.com:/home/mingo/cvsroot checkout openacs4/packages/general-comments

cvs -d :pserver:mailto:anonymous@unolotiene.com:/home/mingo/cvsroot checkout openacs4/packages/acs-kernel/sql/postgresql/acs-create.sql

I did some research on the "exec" problem and found an OpenBSD patch at https://openacs.org/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=0001HI. With it I was able to get all the way through loading the kernel data model. Immediately afterwards, however, nsd dies. This is the last message:
