[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Problem with Pg password authentication in 'make install'

[Warren A. Layton]

I'm attempting to install Evergreen 1.2.3.0 on an Ubuntu 8.04 machine.
I've been following the steps on the DokuWiki for Ubuntu 7.10 and I'm
near the end of the process. I'm now at the point of executing `make
install` under the Evergreen-1.2.3.0 directory and getting the
following error in the "storage-bootstrap" target in
Evergreen-ILS-1.2.3.0/Open-ILS/src/Makefile:

==================
(...)
Installing XSL files to /openils//var/xsl

<repeated many times>
============

The scripts seems to be omitting the first two characters of my DB
password, which is causing this error. The culprit seems likely to be
either:
Evergreen-ILS-1.2.3.0/Open-ILS/src/sql/Pg/build-db.sh
or
Evergreen-ILS-1.2.3.0/Open-ILS/src/extras/import/build-oils-db.sh

If it makes a difference, the password I chose contains two special
characters: an '&' and a '#'.

Let me know if you need more info.

Cheers,
