      3. Install nspostgres (if you want to use Postgres)

        [root nscache]# cd ../nspostgres
-[root nspostgres]# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/pgsql/lib:/usr/local/aolserver/lib

+[root nspostgres]# make install POSTGRES=LSB ACS=1 INST=/usr/local/aolserver  AOLSERVER=/usr/local/aolserver

        If you get errors like:

        nspostgres.c: In function `Ns_PgTableList':
-nspostgres.c:679: warning: passing arg 3 of `Tcl_DStringAppend' as signed due to prototype

        then PostGreSQL is probably not in the standard location. The location of PostGreSQL is very dependent on which method was used to install it. To correct the problem, replace LSB with the path to the path to your PostGreSQL installation. Often this is /usr/local/pgsql.

        You can use the - ldd command to verify +nspostgres.c:679: warning: passing arg 3 of `Tcl_DStringAppend' as signed due to prototype

        then PostGreSQL is probably not in the standard location. The location of PostGreSQL is very dependent on which method was used to install it. To correct the problem, replace LSB with the path to the path to your PostGreSQL installation. Often this is /usr/local/pgsql.

        You can use the + ldd command to verify that all libraries are linked in: - ldd /usr/local/src/aolserver40r10/nspostgres/nspostgres.so -

        If you run into problems with libpq.a do the following (and repeat the step above)

        [root nspostgres]# ranlib /usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.a

        If you run into problems with the linker, edit the Makefile. Add -lnsdb to the MODLIBS var.

        MODLIBS = -L$(PGLIB) -lpq -lnsdb

      5. Install nssha1

        [root nspostgres]# cd ../nssha1

        Now install nssha1:

        [root nssha1]# make install AOLSERVER=/usr/local/aolserver

        If the make fails you will have to edit nssha1.c. Comment out the following 2 lines (lines 139-140): 

        // typedef unsigned int u_int32_t;
-// typedef unsigned char u_int8_t;

      6. Install tDOM

        [root nssha1]# cd ../tDOM-0.8.0/unix

        Edit the CONFIG file. Uncomment the instructions meant for AOLserver 4, but edit it to look like this:

        ../configure --enable-threads --disable-tdomalloc
-          --prefix=/usr/local/aolserver --with-tcl=/usr/local/lib

        Note that the location of the Tcl library may vary on differnt platforms (e.g. for Debian 3.0: --with-tcl=/usr/lib/tcl8.4)

        Now you can compile and configure tDOM

        [root unix]# sh CONFIG
-[root unix]# make install

      7. Install TCLLIB

        [root nssha1]# cd ../tcllib

        Configure and compile TCLLIB

        [root unix]# ./configure -prefix=/usr/local/aolserver40r10
-[root unix]# make install

    4. Add a database-specific wrapper script. This script + ldd /usr/local/src/aolserver40r10/nspostgres/nspostgres.so +

      If you run into problems with libpq.a do the following (and repeat the step above)

      [root nspostgres]# ranlib /usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.a

      MODLIBS = -L$(PGLIB) -lpq -lnsdb

      Note that the location of the Tcl library may vary on differnt platforms (e.g. for Debian 3.0: --with-tcl=/usr/lib/tcl8.4)

      Now you can compile and configure tDOM

      [root unix]# sh CONFIG
