Forum OpenACS Q&A: packages-install.tcl for 5.2.X

Posted by Brett schwarz on 05/19/06 05:30 PM

I get this error when trying to install Openacs 5.2.3rc1

Error: Unable to source
-snip-/packages/acs-bootstrap-installer/installer/packages-install.tcl: file does not exist.

The only place I see packages-install.tcl is here:
./packages/acs-admin/www/apm/packages-install.tcl

I downloaded version 4.6.3, and it is in that tarball:
./packages/acs-bootstrap-installer/installer/packages-install.tcl
./packages/acs-admin/www/apm/packages-install.tcl

Does packages-install.tcl not exist in the installer directory, or is that in error that it's missing.

I believe this is what's causing my problem when I get to the step to install the packages, since the "next" button calls packages-install, but it can't find it.

Anyone have an idea here?

Thanks,

Hi Brett,

A friend of mine encountered this about a week ago. I haven't been using OACS for months now, but using web CVS I also got a similar findings as yours. I suggested to my friend to check his etc/config.tcl it might be already old. Can you try a newer etc/config.tcl? He said after a few mins he was able to resolve it and also he had to purge is browser's cache. I am not sure the exact details how he resolved it, he just said thanks and was able to install. Anyway good luck, I am sure others will reply to help.
