OS: CentOS5
I'm attempting to do a fresh install following the instructions here: http://git.aegirproject.org/?p=provision.git;a=blob_plain;f=INSTALL.txt;...
I am using this install script: http://git.aegirproject.org/?p=provision.git;a=blob_plain;f=install.sh.t...
At first I was having a problem with drush_make downloading, but I read another post where I could manually download it and drop it in the /var/aegir/.drush dir.
The problem I have now is this message: aegir_install.sh: line 226: cd: /var/aegir/hostmaster-HEAD: No such file or directory
Note that /var/aegir is definitely chowned to aegir:aegir. The backups, configs, and .drush/provisions directories seem to be created just fine.
# su -s /bin/sh aegir -c "sh aegir_install.sh"
==> Aegir automated install script
==> This script makes the following assumptions:
* you have read INSTALL.txt and prepared the platform accordingly
* you are running as your "aegir" user
* the following settings are correct:
AEGIR_DOMAIN=aegir.****.com
AEGIR_VERSION=HEAD
AEGIR_HOME=/var/aegir
WEB_GROUP=apache
HOSTMASTER_DIR=/var/aegir/hostmaster-HEAD
DRUSH=/var/aegir/drush/drush.php
DRUSH_VERSION=All-versions-3.0-beta1
Some of those settings can be changed on the commandline, see:
aegir_install.sh -h
for more information.

The problem was that I had an older version of drush already installed on this system. I removed the old version and ran the aegir install again.
All issues, including the drush_make problem, went away.
Thanks to mig5 in irc for pointing me in the right direction.
