Please note, that when you install xotcl-core, you need two patches in addition to xotcl-core as described in
http://media.wu-wien.ac.at/download/README-xotcl-corecd /tmp
wget http://media.wu-wien.ac.at/download/acs-api-documentation-procs.patch
wget http://media.wu-wien.ac.at/download/acs-bootstrap-installer.patchcd .../packages
patch -p 0 < /tmp/acs-api-documentation-procs.patch
patch -p 0 < /tmp/acs-bootstrap-installer.patch
Actually, i think these patches do no harm even when xotcl is not installed. As TIPed, they will be in oacs 5.3 anyhow. Would anyone object when i would add these patches to oacs 5.2 and commit these changes?
