[Evergreen-general] libdbi PostgreSQL driver not found in shared library path

[Blake Graham-Henderson]

Dashamir,

Yes! Absolutely it should b easier to install. One improvement that 
we've talked about is merging OpenSRF into the Evergreen project. I 
think that would go a long way. And removing some of the decisions for 
first-time installers. Such as whether or not to use NGINX. Perhaps the 
installer should just do it (because pretty much everyone has decided 
that NGINX reigns supreme for the brunt of the internet traffic)

But now this topic has evolved. Perhaps would be better suited in a 
different thread. Or perhaps a Launchpad thread. I went ahead and filed 
a Launchpad bug <https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/2086803>. I 
also went ahead and added it as a discussion topic 
<https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=hack-a-way:hack-a-way-2024#discussion_topics> 
for next week at the hack-away.
