I didn't have a file called autogen.sh... should I have?  Running the longer 
series of commands (aclocal, libtoolize, etc.) from the previous email works, 
though.

I ran into this while running ./configure:

checking  module: setuptools... ./configure: line 21008: /tmp/null: Permission 
denied
configure: error: failed to find required module setuptools

/tmp/null had been created by a different user while testing a previous 
version of the patch.  Manually removing that file fixed that.

Building legacy JSON seems to be causing problems.  Trying to compile 
Evergreens sources on a fresh install results in:

/openils/lib//libopensrf.so: undefined reference to `jsonObjectFindPath'
/openils/lib//libopensrf.so: undefined reference to `jsonObjectClone'
...

Maybe just missing a -lobjson?

I installed into a fresh /openils, and /openils/conf was not created.

When I attempt to start the router, it dies with

/openils/bin/osrf_ctl.sh: line 152: /openils//etc/run/router.pid: No such file 
or directory

Should that go into /openils/var/run ?

Regardless, the directory will need to be created at install time.

We need to make sure -NDEBUG is enabled by default or services won't start.  


More testing shortly...
