Just followed .LRN 1.0.1 installation directions.
I installed in /usr/local/aolserver as directed.

Modifications necessary:

• Contrary to my normal in-house installation procedure, I did not run my homegrown lnsrc script. The symlinks created by lnsrc make the installation create incorrect destination files.
  
• I had to modify conf-make to contain "make" instead of "gmake".
  

Compilation error encountered:
After compilation, I checked the build logs in the log directory and found that nspostgres did not compile right:
nspostgres.h:48: libpq-fe.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [nspostgres.o] Error 1
It turns out that I need the posgresql-dev Debian package installed, as per this AOLserver mailing list thread. I also had to unset POSGRES environment variable, unlike what the instructions say. And I had to fix the nspostgres Makefile, which has PGLIB and PGINC switched in one of their definitions. This will force the Makefile to figure out where the include files are.

I tested the AOLserver as per instructions (with one difference being to use the 'www-data' group instead of the 'web' group).
