Jeff,

My feedback to this thread has not been a "please help it does not work" -- I simply find it interesting that what used to work a dozen times I've installed and configured is not working now.  I am trying to see what causes these breakages and how they can be mitigated, whether it is a praticular combination of OS/db/AOLserver.  Unlike many here, for instance, I prefer to use FreeBSD, not Linux, even though this calls for a bumpier ride -- yet there's no reason while it should not work, is there?

Andrei, I was not trying to single you out there. It's more that a lot of folks download the HEAD when 4.6 would be hugely better as a starting point which is why I said it.

To be honest, I don't know what your problem is since you have not described very concretely. I assume it's something different than what Tammy described but other than that I don't know.

On nssha1, the best place to post something would be the aolserver mailing list (and to submit a bug at aolserver.sourceforge.net).

Fair enough. FWIW, if anybody is having the "You need to update" error -- make sure that you compile nspostgres with ACS=1 as follows:

  $ gmake ACS=1 POSTGRES=/usr/local
...
  $ gmake ACS=1 POSTGRES=/usr/local install

(substitute for just make on Linux).

As far as nssha1 is concerned -- lines 139 and 140 of nssha1.c need to be commented out if you are compiling in FreeBSD (probably it should just be wrapped in to a sensible #ifdef/#endif:

After these changes all is good with the follwoing setup: FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT/postgresql-devel (7.3.1) from ports/OpenACS 4.6-final

Should read:

When compiling AOLserver, make sure that you compile Tcl of your choice with --enable-threads (I had to manually alter Makefile).
