Hi Hennie:

The applications that have <language>C</language> have to use
<driver>pgsql</driver> - this is what the  defaults should be in
openils.xml.example. I tried to address this in a troubleshooting
topic at http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=troubleshooting:problems_compiling_evergreen

If you're starting from scratch, I would recommend using the 1.1.x
branch; 1.0.x is deprecated, mostly meant for the use of PINES, and is
missing several of the patches that make it easier to get Open-ILS up
and running.
