Okay. For future reference you can run that from any location.

That is quite interesting. I'll try and explore that sometime. Maybe
the responsible library loading infrastructure has matured in Ubuntu
since Mike first documented the required steps and we're holding on to
outdated beliefs. It would be great to know for sure.

Can you try the following, just out of interest:

sudo su - opensrf
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/openils/lib:/usr/local/lib/dbd
export PATH=$PATH:/openils/bin
export PERL5LIB=/openils/lib/perl5:$PERL5LIB
osrf_ctl.sh -c /openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml -a stop_all
osrf_ctl.sh -c /openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml -a start_router
osrf_ctl.sh -c /openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml -a start_perl
osrf_ctl.sh -c /openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml -a start_c
cd /openils/bin
autogen.sh /openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml

That should rule out LD_LIBRARY_PATH, PATH, and PERL5LIB settings as
possible culprits. After that, we're probably back to looking at
opensrf_core.xml and opensrf.xml again :(
