[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Compiling and Installing Evergeen on Fedora Core 6

[Bill Ott]

I've been half following the various RH and FC threads.  While I'm 
running Evergreen on Fedora (until I get back to debugging my FreeBSD 
installation), I haven't had much to contribute, as I've installed 
everything from source. 

I'd encourage anyone that's having problems with a specific package to 
consider the source for that piece of the puzzle.  Often, the source 
installation may shed light on a problem that is not obvious from the 
package.  There's generally no harm in using a combination of packages 
and source if you you have everything you need in the end...
