Thanks for additional info. I am now starting from the first step using Ubuntu's repository management system. At the moment, I finished installing postgreSQL and now installing TomCat6.
In DSpace's installation instructions, I read: "Note that DSpace will need to run as the same user as Tomcat, so you might want to install and run Tomcat as a user called 'dspace'." This is very confused as it should not be possible to install any software package without being 'root' in Unix like system. What should I do next ?
