[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Errors at testing stage of OpenSRF installation (OpenSRF trunk)

I have been attempting to set up an installation of Evergreen on
Ubuntu 9.10 but have run into some difficulty with OpenSRF. I used a
checkout from trunk (1879) because 1.2.0 didn't have a prerequisites
target for ubuntu-karmic whereas trunk did.

I followed the instructions on the wiki [1] for 1.2.0, except for the
configure program. I changed the prefix to install in /opt/openils. I
have not yet retried the installation with the /openils prefix.

  $ ./configure --prefix=/opt/openils --sysconfdir=/opt/openils/conf
--enable-python

At the testing connection step, srfsh was unable to communicate and
returned this message:

  srfsh# request opensrf.math add 2 2
  Unable to communicate with service opensrf.math

I tested this with both the public.localhost and private.localhost
servers in the srfsh.xml file and got the same response.

I went through the troubleshooting steps on the wiki [2] and it
appears the problem is occurring with the OpenSRF C part. First off,
when I noticed that OpenSRF C was not running but the other parts
apparently were running when I ran the stop_all command.

  $ /opt/openils/bin/osrf_ctl.sh -c /opt/openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml
-l -a stop_all
  OpenSRF C not running
  Stopping OpenSRF Perl
  * stopping all services for localhost
  * stopping service pid=8921 opensrf.persist
  * stopping service pid=8910 opensrf.settings
  Stopping OpenSRF Router process 8863 8864...

I ran the three separate start commands as documented on the
troubleshooting wiki. I did not find any errors on the first 2 steps
(start_router and start_perl). However, the start_c step did produce
some errors in the logs.

  $ /opt/openils/bin/osrf_ctl.sh -c /opt/openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml
-l -a start_c
  Starting OpenSRF C (host=localhost)

Per the instructions on the troubleshooting page I am sending this
report and copies of my log files to open-ils-dev. What is my next
step?

Sincerely,
Bradley Peters
