[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Error with autogen script

[Jamal Saleh]

I am wondering if this error has anything to do with the way I installed Apache.

As there were no warnings against using the packaged version of Apache, I did not compile it from the source, unlike PostgeSQL .


Any insights?

That's rather magical. I suspect some other factor was to blame for your problems.

My fear with directing users to touch the hierarchy before running autogen.sh is that they are much more likely to introduce other problems (like org units at the wrong depth). I think it's far better to get the out of the box system up and running, keeping as many defaults as possible, and then start to carefully tweak one variable at a time.
