Install nssha1

[root nspostgres]# cd ../nssha1

Now install nssha1:

[root nssha1]# make install AOLSERVER=/usr/local/aolserver

If the make fails you will have to edit nssha1.c. Comment out the following 2 lines (lines 139-140):

// typedef unsigned int u_int32_t;
-// typedef unsigned char u_int8_t;

Install tDOM

[root nssha1]# cd ../tDOM-0.7.8/unix

Edit the CONFIG file. Uncomment the instructions meant for AOLserver 4, but edit it to look like this:

../configure --enable-threads --disable-tdomalloc
+// typedef unsigned char u_int8_t;

Install tDOM
```
[root nssha1]# cd ../tDOM-0.8.0/unix

Edit the CONFIG file. Uncomment the instructions meant for AOLserver 4, but edit it to look like this:
```
../configure --enable-threads --disable-tdomalloc

```
Note that the location of the Tcl library may vary on differnt platforms (e.g. for Debian 3.0: --with-tcl=/usr/lib/tcl8.4)
Now you can compile and configure tDOM

You may need to edit these scripts if you are not using - /usr/local/aolserver as the directory of Aolserver4.

Change startup script (optional).�If you want to run AOLserver on a port below 1024 (normally, for a webserver you will use 80), you will have to change the /var/lib/aolserver/service0/etc/daemontools/run script according to the documentation found there (namely: Add the -b yourip:yourport switch)
