Forum OpenACS Q&A: Error installing AOLserver (newbie)

Have followed OpenACS install documentation for this, but make seems to fail with this error in aolserver.log:

In file included from ./../generic/tclUtf.c:20:
../generic/tclUniData.c:152: `$' undeclared here (not in a function)
../generic/tclUniData.c:152: initializer element is not constant
../generic/tclUniData.c:152: (near initialization for `pageMap[2018]')
../generic/tclUniData.c:152: parse error before `47'
make[2]: *** [tclUtf.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/aolserver/aolserver/tcl8.3.2/unix'
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/aolserver/aolserver/tcl8.3.2'
make: *** [libtcl8x] Error 2

I'm too new at this to see what to do next.  Any help much appreciated!

What is "./configure"?

The OpenACS doc ("Chapter 2: Installing on Unix/Linux") says to run "./conf" in /usr/local/src/aolserver as the last step.  This is what gives me the error above after some minutes.

There isn't a "configure" binary in this directory.

What am I missing?

Thanks so much for your help.

Starting over clean did it. (Had tried multiple downloads, and installs but hadn't been savvy enough to clean out all the old stuff first.)

Many thanks!
