Hi Rahul

What exactly is the problem? Can you run it manually with -f flag, and
what's the error messages?

From installation point of view, If you just want to play with it,
then "apt-get install aolserver4" (or analogous command for your
distro) works.
However what I found from my personal experience, for production
server, the best and esiest way to do it is to build *everything* from
source code,
and put it into single directory, minimizing external dependencies.

You may try out my (very crude) script, which pretty much does all
installation steps for you.
Just remove the parts you probably don't need (e.g. XoTcl &
nssessions), and replace/remove one apt-get command if you not on
Debian.
Here it is:

Hopefully, some humble notes that I collected for myself may be helpful too

What Linux distribution are you using? Are you installing using a
binary package or compiling from source?
