Gustaf, in your xowiki install docs, you start with installing thread2.6.1 from sourceforge. However, it appears that there is no such project there now. Any idea what is going on, and do you have an alternate source? Could you post thread2.6.1 into the OpenACS file-storage area perhaps? Thanks for any help; I'm keen to start working with xowiki!

the thread library is needed only for he xotcl request monitor, background delivery or xowiki chat in a certain configuration (streaming modes, see http://www.openacs.org/xowiki/pages/en/chat)

How comes that you say that libthread is not on sourceforge? Just tried the provided link, seems ok. Maybe there was a short problem with sourceforge again. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=10894&package_id=10438&release_id=294044

Btw, xotcl is now at 1.4.0, please follow the install instructions in http://www.openacs.org/xowiki/pages/en/xotcl-core

The bad thing about using forum posting for install instructions is that one cannot update these, one finds as well somewhat outdated instructions.

Gustaf and Dave -- thanks for the clarifications. Got xowiki installed just fine now. FWIW xotcl compiles and installs on OS X without problems. Thanks for the great engineering!
