Hi Van

I think I had some of the error messages you are getting, so here goes....

First, I am assuming that you followed the installation documents.... My installation was with pg71 and RH7.2, so you might have slightly different paths.

The only lines I needed to change in the service.tcl file were lines 17 and 19.
set server "service"
set servername "My Development Server"

Everything else I left standard.

The second thing that I did was install the pg driver. You can download the drivers off openacs website.

All I did was untar these to the /usr/local/src directory. I then edited the makefile. I changed the following lines

line 35: INSTALL=/usr/local/aolserver

line 38: PGLIB=/usr/local/pgsql/lib

line 41: PGINC=/usr/local/pgsql/include

line 46: NSHOME=/usr/local/aolserver

line 49: I commented out this line #COPTS=-Wall -fpic -shared -I/usr/local/ ..... ....

line 62: I uncommented this line COPTS=-fpic -shared -i$... ....

These were the only changes I made to the makefile. I then ran make and make install, and the pg drive installed .

The third thing that I did was to rename /usr/local/aolserver/servers/server1 to /user/local/aolserver/servers/servicename

After doing this, restart aolserver as normal and continue with the installation.
