Actually, after looking at the link for the install script, you should probably talk to the cognovis developers. They are patching AOLserver 4.5, and they make the following statement:

This script assumes a DEBIAN / UBUNTU environment. It has been tested though under Redhat and fedora as well as OS X.

AOLServer 4.5.0 and a set of modules are available in the FreeBSD ports tree (and as binary packages for i386 and amd64 architectures).

More information on AOLServer ports:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=aolserver&stype=all

There are OpenACS and dotLRN ports available, too. There will be more dependencies added to these ports in the future.

More information on OpenACS ports:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=openacs&stype=all

Location of OpenACS ports:
www/openacs (vesion 5.3.0)
www/openacs-dotlrn (version 2.2.1)

The OpenACS ports have the following dependencies (these are installed automatically with the OpenACS ports):
lang/tcl84-thread
www/tdom
www/aolserver
www/aolserver-nscache
security/aolserver-nsopenssl
databases/aolserver-nspostgres
security/aolserver-nssha1

There is ongoing work on the ports.
These dependencies will be added in the near future but can be installed at this time manually:
www/aolserver-xotcl
www/tclwebtest
devel/tcllib

I will publish new installation instructions in the OpenACS online documentation soon.

That's funny, I couldn't find these ports before. If they exist, I'll try again.

I don't think it has anything to do to the patches, because AOLServer compiles and works with no problem. The thing is in the compiled modules for the OpenACS (nssha1 e nscache), wich AOLServer just can't load.
