Tapiwa, can you tell me what hangs? I am kind of suspicious of having everything that nsadmin does assume kernal 2.2.5. I thought that that compatability stuff was only set for the oracle user during the actual Oracle software installation and database creation.
# You also need to make sure that you add "export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5" to the nsadmin .bash_profile, otherwise the openacs installation hangs.
