[Newbies] Re: Confused about how to get everything set up

[Matt Chelen]

John,

I'm still having issues with getting the Metacello scripts to load 
correctly. In your script, "ConfigurationofPostgresV2" was shown as an 
unknown variable, and trying to declare it global resulted in an error. 
I also tried running Installer ss, then Conf... but the same thing happened.

As far as Postgres goes, is there anything more secure than MD5 available?

On the Metacello install page ( 
http://code.google.com/p/metacello/wiki/DownloadMetacello ), the script 
they provide doesn't seem to work either.

I should probably say that ultimately, I intend to set up a server of 
some sort, probably close to a MUD or MU*. Right now, I'm looking at 
libraries for a couple of things, mainly just to have and possibly to 
learn how to obtain said libraries.

My checklist includes:
- OpenGL (Lumiere seems like a good choice)
- PostgreSQL-compatible database interface
- Some form of multithreading

I'm assuming internet connection can be done without any libraries over 
TCP/IP and/or TCP/UDP?

Thanks,
-Matt
