Try setting your PATH environment variable to include /openils/bin, a la:

export PATH=/openils/bin:$PATH

Here you need to set your PERL5LIB environment variable to include
/openils/lib/perl5:

export PERL5LIB=/openils/lib/perl5:$PERL5LIB

This is the same PATH problem as above.

These instructions are part of the Gentoo install instructions, but a
quick search on "PERL5LIB" in the wiki suggests that they might not be
part of the instructions for other distributions -- the generic
instructions at
http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=building_and_installing_the_source
probably aren't explicit enough for the preferred way each
distribution handles environment variables. I volunteered about a week
ago to try to restructure the install documents so that they are more
like the Gentoo install instructions, with a template for new
distributions / operating systems to follow that will hopefully
include each and every step in excruciating detail :)
