Wow! I believe this is the first report of Open-ILS successfully
running outside of GPLS -- a major news event.

Thanks for the doing the work that helped ferret out those necessary
changes, Eric, and thanks to Bill for committing the update. Looking
at http://open-ils.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/ILS/Open-ILS/examples/openils.xml.example?r1=1.21&r2=1.22,
I've got a better idea of why I wasn't able to make it across the
finish line back in November.

I'll fire up my VM and see if I can get a little further on my own
now. It's also great that you're working on an ebuild for this, Eric,
although I suspect it's going to be pretty darned hard to keep on top
of it over time. Just out of interest, did you find that you needed to
make any changes to
http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=installing_prerequisites_on_gentoo?
It would be really nice to keep the documentation as close to reality
as possible :)

Invigorated,
Dan
