First of all follow the instructions about the installation of
OpenACS5 in Mac OS X 

   http://www.efaber.net/personal/svet/OpenACS5-MacOSX-log.txt

When you finish there will be working copy of OpenACS5 installed
in /web/service0. Now if you want to install also .LRN as another
service in directory /web/dotlrn do the following:
