[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Issues installing EG 2.4 alpha1

[Mike Rylander]

Thanks for the report, Yamil.

That's annoying ... and a product of our attempt to use (what we believed
to be) more correct version numbering.  Module::Build obviously disagrees.
 I'll update the tarball later today to work around that, but in the mean
time you can modify the $VERSION variable in OpenILS.pm to say just '2.4'
and it should work.
