Hi Rangan,
you'll see I'm copying the server-devel list -- other people are
following similar steps, so let's have technical conversations via
this list, otherwise, my inbox explodes hopelessly :-)

With 0.5.1 you'll see some problems with ejabberd. I'd recommend 0.5.2-dev02...

I'll give you these alternative instructions - all the steps below as
the root user...
1 - to be sure, perform the full install of the XS (in your notes it's
not clear whether you had configured domains, ejabberd, etc)
2 - start postgres - `chkconfig --add pgsql-xs ; /etc/init.d/pgsql-xs start `
3 - install git `yum install git`
4 - To develop and play with moodle,
cd /var/www/moodle
mv web web-from-rpm
git clone git-clone git://dev.laptop.org/users/martin/moodle.git web
cp web-from-rpm/config.php web/config.php
now you should have a good moodle install. Also recommeded:
- add these lines to config.php
$CFG->debug=6143;
$CFG->debugdisplay=0;
- keep a console where you tail the error logs - I setup an xterm
below my editor and browser windows, where I use the following
command:
tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log | perl -pe 's/\\n/\n/g'

Right... you've tried to install the Browse.xo from git, which is a
bit of trouble because it's not fully compatible.

If you want to do it this way, I'd say, as user olpc, do
1 - sudo yum install git
2 - cd /home/olpc/Activities
3 - mv Browse.activity Browse.activity-original
4 - git-clone git://dev.laptop.org/web-activity Browse.activity
5 - cd Browse.activity
6 - git checkout -b sucrose-0.82 origin/sucrose-0.82
7 - from the home view, start Browse.
- steps 5 and 6 are because the 'master' development branch of Browse
doesn'twork on the 8.2.x OS. I know - awkward.
Anyway, my recommendatino is thatr you _don't_ do this either :-). On
the laptop side, just install the nicely packaged Browse-100.xo from
http://shell.sugarlabs.org/~erikos/bundles/Browse-100.xo

Note that this is a development version! If it breaks... and it
probably will... you get to keep both parts.
cheers,
