I installed ACL and web shows me this message:

"The content access permissions need to be rebuilt. Please visit this page.", but all i get is "The content access permissions have not been properly rebuilt".

When I uninstall ACL the message disappears.

I run drupal-6.16, ACL 6.x-1.2, PHP Version 5.2.12

The message appears as soon as you install any node access module (ACL or any other) and it disappears as soon as you remove the last one of them.

If you can't rebuild permissions, then something is very wrong with your installation and you should not put any trust into the node access protection until this is fixed. This is core functionality, and while ACL is using that core functionality, it's very unlikely that ACL is the cause of the failure.

Take a look at the Content Access queue — it has a number of threads about rebuilding failures, most notably #281326: The content access permissions need to be rebuilt.. The most likely cause seems to be database corruption.

BTW, you're not running ACL by itself, are you? It doesn't do anything on its own (except for triggering core to request rebuilding permissions)...
