1: missing packages-install.tcl
Posted by mel m on 04/05/06 06:28 PM
Hi all,

I've been trying to install dotlrn version 2.1.0, 2.0.2, 2.0.3, 2.1.1 and 2.1.3 all to no avail: all installations reported that packages-install.tcl file was missing.

Installation of openacs-5.2.2 however was a success.

Question:
1. What is packages-install.tcl, and is it generated automatically by the installer?
2. Does the version of postgres affect the installation?
3. How do I get around this problem?

My setup:
1. PostgreSQL 8.0.4
2. AOLServer 4.0.10
3. tcl 8.4.9 (with threads enabled)
4. tDOM 0.8.0 (with threads enabled)

Regards,

--mel
