In the future, please wrap these things in <pre></pre> tags and change the posting type to HTML.  FAR more readable that way.

The first problem I see is:
Error: dbdrv: no such driver 'ora8'
Are you using oracle?  Is it installed?

If you haven't already, check out https://openacs.org/doc/openacs-4/unix-install.html for installation guidelines.  I'm guessing you incorrectly specified which DB you're using?  If so, check out conf-db, and recompile aolserver if incorrectly set.  Also check that you used the nsd-postgres script, not nsd-oracle.

Of course, if you're actually using Oracle, hopefully someone else will chime in and help.  It might help if you could post your version of /usr/local/aolserver/birdnotes.tcl also.

Good luck!
