With the latest ACIS version. I have started this today. I found some problems that I have fixed. So some of the notes are not completely applicable, but it sohuld be enough to reproduce the process. It's not complete, but it should Dan get started. Dan I suggest you try to use the latest BDB version you can get. This will create a new set and not use the corrupted ones we have on nebka. I will not get offline, get drunk and chase women, but if not successful (rather likely) you can find me online later to talk. Installation notes from test system aras@holda.openlib.org 1. Make DNS entry ras.openlib.org to go to holda binder@snefru:~$ nslookup ras.openlib.org Server: 127.0.0.1 Address: 127.0.0.1#53 Name: ras.openlib.org Address: 85.10.194.76 binder@snefru:~$ nslookup holda.openlib.org Server: 127.0.0.1 Address: 127.0.0.1#53 Name: holda.openlib.org Address: 85.10.194.76 2. Install libsvm-tools aptitude install libsvm-tools 3. Mirror acis from nebka (without RI directory, so save space). Make a copy of acis, as mirrored from nebka aras@holda:~$ mv acis/ acis.org aras@holda:~$ mkdir acis 4. Install. Note I made already a new release, so the number will be different here. aras@holda:~$ cp ~aacis/public_html/code/ACIS-1.6.50-20110826a.with-libs.tar.gz . aras@holda:~$ cp ~aacis/public_html/code/ACIS-1.6.50-20110826a.with-libs.tar.gz . aras@holda:~$ tar xzf ACIS-1.6.50-20110826a.with-libs.tar.gz aras@holda:~$ cd ACIS-1.6.50-20110826a.with-libs aras@holda:~/ACIS-1.6.50-20110826a.with-libs$ sh install.sh ~/acis this is an upgrade Checking required modules... - CGI::Untaint (version 1.25+) is not found - String::Similarity (version 1+) is not found - AppConfig (version 1.52+) is not found - Date::Manip is not found - Proc::Daemon (version 0.03+) is not found - CGI::Minimal (version 1.24+) is not found - String::Approx is not found installing to /home/aras/acis directory installing scripts into /home/aras/acis/bin: cit_test.pl conf.pl rid setup setup.cgi_frontend setup.logs-browsing setup.ri_collections setup.ri_local_setup.pm setup.sid_local.pm this is an upgrade installing to /home/aras/acis directory /home/aras/acis/bin/setup: line 11: cd: /home/awho/acis: No such file or directory You need to have AppConfig perl module installed unpacked AMF-perl into dir AMF-perl-0.40 AMF-perl-0.40.tar.gz Now you might want to create main.conf file in /home/aras/acis Then run bin/setup there.
