[AOLSERVER] Installing AOLServer 4.5.0 on amd64(Gentoo)

[Alexander]

Hi folks,

I'm trying to install aolserver-4.5.0 on a new machine that runs under
gentoo-amd64, and I am getting this error:

/usr/bin/tclsh ./util/nsmakeall.tcl install nsthread nsd nstclsh
make install: nsthread
gmake[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/aolserver-4.5.0/nsthread'

gmake[1]: *** [libnsthread.so] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/aolserver-4.5.0/nsthread'

Does anyone has faced similar problem?
Any ideas what could I do about it?

Thanks,

Alex.

Have you compiled Tcl with threads? You appear to be using a Tcl version
in /usr/bin.

If this is what came with the system or OS, try downloading and installing Tcl
8.4, and install it in the same prefix as your aolserver.

Here is my configure for Tcl, then AOLserver:

From the unix/ subdirectory:

#!/bin/bash

./configure --prefix=/web/nsd45 \
--enable-64bit \
--enable-threads \
--enable-shared

and for AOLserver:

#!/bin/bash

./configure --prefix=/web/nsd45 \
--with-tcl=/web/nsd45/lib \
--enable-threads \
--enable-shared \
--enable-debug \
--enable-symbols

then run make/make install:

$ make TCLSH=/web/nsd45/bin/tclsh8.4
$ make TCLSH=/web/nsd45/bin/tclsh8.4 install

This is a known issue for aolserver 4.5 with a resonably recent Tcl.
You need to patch a bit. I use something like this on Debian:
