postgres password? Oh. That means you're running the sudo command as the postgres user, which doesn't have sudo capabilities. Per the instructions at the top of that page, then, become the root user and issue the command: aptitude install postgresql-contrib-8.2 postgresql-plperl-8.2 OK. I went back to root user and entered your string and got the following: _____________________________ Reading package lists done... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...

Nope, that's all there is. Mind you, this is the first time someone following those instructions has reported the problem that you have reported, and the Ubuntu 8.04 VMWare image at http://open-ils.org/downloads.php was built following those directions step by step. Isn't it nice to be a pioneer? Actually I am not using VMWare. I used the 3rd choice: "Download and install the Evergreen server" and installed it to its own box. I'm thinking what I really need is a course in linux. Thanks, Dave -- Dan Scott Laurentian University
