reveal I was bitten again by the same problem as in July of 2010, at v6-v7 at 
the point where gmTools.py tried to call os.getcwd())

        _log.debug('CWD: %s', os.getcwd())

This was a consequence of -- and which, going forward, I will better remember 
and document ! -- 

1) at least on Mac OS, there are problems with failure of su -c to be supported

2) making it sometimes necessary to run as root after commenting out sections 
relying on su -c

3) the postgresql user typically does not have a home directory which 
complicates the use of the commands getcwd or getcwdu to work in the user's 
directory

        http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnumed-devel/2010-07/msg00060.html

and if the packages had been downloaded and untarred under a regular user 
account, problems arise with permissions, which is what happened when I did

        sudo -i

to open a root shell, and then tried to run the bootstrap from files in my 
regular user directory.

The solution below
- after config file instances of #password had been uncommented
- after su -c was disabled in two bootstrap files
- after I zipped the above inside the server v19
worked bootstrapping up to v17, after which I had a different problem that I'll 
separately post ...

sudo -i

cp /Users/dad/Downloads/gnumed-server.19.0.zip /tmp

cd /tmp

unzip gnumed-server.19.0.zip

cd /tmp/gnumed-server.19.0/server/bootstrap/

sh bootstrap-latest.sh
