[OPEN-ILS-DEV] TypeError: g.my_libs_tree is null

[Ben Shum]

Hi Chris,

"TypeError: g.my_libs_tree is null" is a pretty common error message
that I've seen whenever I forget to do a proper autogen.sh / apache
restart on my Evergreen server.

Sounds like that step didn't work as expected.  So I would try that
again.  And check the logs in case it fails for whatever reason.

Also, I notice that you put (Desktop) in parenthesis after the Ubuntu
distribution in your opening explanation.  The Evergreen community
only tests and officially supports the 64-bit Server edition of Ubuntu
LTS, so your mileage and experience may vary attempting to use
Evergreen on a Desktop edition.  I know from personal experience
working with others in the past that some installations have appeared
successful but failed to run properly due to missing/different package
dependencies between Desktop vs. Server.  Hard to say if that will
affect your functionality in this particular case, but it is generally
advisable to stick to more widely used Linux distributions for the
project.

Good luck, hope this helps you move forward.
