If the LessWrong codebase were easier to hack on

If you need some help, reach out to me or wmoore. peerinfinity also got it running locally and submitted some code changes.

Thanks! Any advice on the easiest way to install the right version of PostgreSQL on an Ubuntu Karmic system? That's what stopped me last time.

Hi ciphergoth, I've made some changes this morning that make the Less Wrong code base compatible with PostgreSQL 8.3, which is available in the karmic repositories. The change is on the 'postgres-8.3' branch in git. I have run through and revised the Hacking on Less Wrong wiki page this morning on an Ubuntu 9.10 install and have confirmed that it works. It would be great if you could have another go at getting the code up and running and let me know how you go.

To get the LW server code running on my Ubuntu box, I just followed the instructions at http://wiki.github.com/tricycle/lesswrong/hacking-on-less-wrong

There were a few details that I needed to ask matt and wmoore for help with, but the instructions on that page were enough to get it basically up and running.

Please feel free to contact me for more information, my Skype ID is PeerInfinity.
