Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: freebsd 4.5 ports: pgdriver depending on postgres 7.3 breaks install

The nspostgres driver is part of the AOLserver release, as it connects AOLserver to Postgres.  That's why there's no mention of it in the Postgres documentation.

Where did you get your copy of AOLserver and the Postgres driver from?  Are they being distributed as part of the ports collection?

that makes sense!

exactly. that's why i'm afraid, that i'll have to deinstall all of the relevant ports and then just stick to the unix-install documentation here on openacs.

<sigh>took me five hours of work to get to here... guess it'll be at least another eight until i finally get my first installation of acs running...</sigh>

oh, well, i HAVE been warned, that "openacs is not a turn-key system"... 😉

if there's any advice you think would be useful before i start compiling away, feel free to give it 😉

thx,
