That suggests that the "make -f Open-ILS/src/extras/Makefile.install
<distro>" command, or the corresponding command for OpenSRF, either
failed or was skipped, and/or that the corresponding target for your distro
is broken.

Well, one thing is that you're using an older version of MARC::File::XML
(0.92, whereas 0.93 is what introduces some measure of support for
namespaced elements). Try "sudo cpan MARC::File::XML", restart OpenSRF /
Evergreen, and see if that makes a difference.
