Although intended for Debian, the following page may be helpful:
http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=other_dependencies_on_debian
Specifically:
---
Create a conf file for ld in /etc/ld.so.conf.d so the dbdpgsql driver
is recognized. This command creates a file "dbd.conf" under
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/ with one line in it "/usr/lib/dbd".
$ echo /usr/lib/dbd > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/dbd.conf

Run ldconfig to refresh the ld cache. This will use the new config
file you made to find the dbdpgsql library.
$ ldconfig

Confirm that it is found, this command should show an entry like
"libdbdpgsql.so (libc6) ⇒ /usr/lib/dbd/libdbdpgsql.so"
$ ldconfig -p |grep dbd
---
Note that I would do the last one ($ ldconfig -p |grep dbd) first, and
use the first and second only if needed...

It looks like you may have to `mv OpenSRF opensrf`.  Perhaps the
output of `ls -lR Evergreen` [lowercase L, capital R] (or similar) may
be helpful just to ensure the directory tree is generally kosher
(NOTE: this may be long, so you may want to add `> tmp.txt` or similar
to the command, and send us the txt file).

As you probably know, OpenSRF and Evergreen were once merged as one
product, but were recently separated when the full-time developers'
migrated from CVS to SVN.  These changes were so recent that some of
the documentation may be behind.

All the build instructions are on the DokuWiki.  Trac is (for now)
only utilized as a SVN web front-end.  The build instructions are at
http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=server_installation
Again, with the recent migration to SVN and the separation of ILS and
OpenSRF, some of these instructions may be obsolete... Please let us
know if you come across anything that appears wrong...

Sure! Evergreen can do pretty much anything! Whether or not they will
is another story ;)
I think there's still some debugging for the SVN migration, but
something like that is surely to come soon... AFAIK, the majority of
the "core developers" are native CVS users, and SVN is relatively new.
 It is definitely something we'll be discussing, I'm sure!

Good luck!
