We tried to clarify the notes on that page already. It seems that it needs another tweak. Do this: cd to your-installation-directory. Unpack the "sources" there. Stay in that directory. Unpack the "dependencies" there too. This will append the extra bits into the appropriate locations. > TIA > > PS: I want to use the dispatcher plugin. Please ask about that in a separate thread. I wrote a Quickstart document a long time ago which did work at that time. However things changed and it probably needs tweaking. There was some discussion in the mail archives. Some other Forrest committers do use it, so they should be keen to help you to update it. -David > -- > Share what you know, learn what you don't. >
