This suggests that you might be using the opensrf.xml file from OpenSRF
rather than from Evergreen - and if that's the case, then nothing else
will work. Check for an <IDL> section in the file and a pointer to the
right location of fm_IDL.xml.

A lot of these problems were fixed after the 2.2.0 release, so see the
upcoming 2.2.1 release, or just grab the latest Makefile.install
directly in git at
http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=Evergreen.git;a=blob;f=Open-ILS/src/extras/Makefile.install

Long story short: I've packaged some of the dependencies for Fedora 17,
in an effort to ease the install process on Fedora. MARC::File::XML is
unfortunately still waiting approval (mostly my lack of prompting the
reviewer) so that needs to be pulled from CPAN still, but I've added
that to the FEDORA_CPAN list in the prereq installer. Note that these
packages have _not_ been backported to Fedora 16, so we're effectively
supporting only the latest stable version of Fedora at this point.

Many thanks for giving Evergreen a go on Fedora! I'm a little lonely out
here, but I've been running Fedora as my primary environment for years
now; it's really helpful having some feedback to catch what I've
overlooked.

One other thing I should note is that when you get to the point of
running Apache, you will need to disable SELinux via "setenforce 0" due
to our weird "run as opensrf with a webroot in a weird location" issue.
Some day we'll fix that...
