Dear Ben,

It seems to me as if the problem here is that the overall OpenACS cleanup was quite effective, maybe too effective: The code in with_finally (in acs-tcl) assumes, that the global variable errorInfo always exists. If it does not exist, it throws the error. So, the relation to xotcl is very vague (maybe there is a call in the xotcl startup that sets as a side effect this variable).

The problem should go away with the patch [1].

Hope this helps

Thank you, Gustaf.

The local build issue of xotcl2 (nsf2) appears to be due to Freebsd10 having clang (not gcc) installed by default. I'm installing gcc since install-ns specifies CC=gcc for it; if only to keep the build consistent with development experience.

I've removed the CC=gcc line for the xotcl-builds in git. This is probably not needed anymore, since some target platforms are configured with appropriate CC definitions anyway.

Thank you, Gustaf.

Just checked nsf2 built fine with clang; nsd log shows successful load.

Now to test 5.8.0 beta!
