Hi Mark:

Sorry to hear that you're running into trouble. I _think_ it's
actually the same answer as I gave back in June
(http://libmail.georgialibraries.org/pipermail/open-ils-dev/2007-June/001379.html)
- you have to build libdbi and the lidbdbi-drivers (which is what
gives you libdbdpgsql.so) from source.

See also http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=libdbi for further
information specific to libdbi / libdbi-drivers. Also see
http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=installing_evergreen_1.2_on_ubuntu_7.10
for instructions for installing Evergreen on Ubuntu 7.10.

As an aside, http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/libs/libdbd-pgsql shows
that the gutsy (Ubuntu 7.10) libdbd-pgsql package is still stuck back
at 0.7.1.3, while the release required for Evergreen is 0.8.2. So the
latest may not be the latest and greatest :)

One final suggestion: I had good success installing all the
prerequisites for EG 1.2 on Ubuntu 7.10 by running Bill's
Makefile.install makefile at
http://svn.open-ils.org/trac/ILS/browser/trunk/Open-ILS/src/extras/Makefile.install
