Hmm - what version of Evergreen are you installing? As of Evergreen
1.4 we stopped referring to those instructions from
http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=server:1.4.0:install and
http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=opensrf:1.0:install

I should probably remove the links to the Makefile installer page, or
at least note that as of 1.4 you should just follow the Evergreen /
OpenSRF instructions.

Unfortunately, you can't skip this stage. Can you open up
Makefile.install and change:

LIBJS_URL=ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/js/$(LIBJS).tar.gz

to:

LIBJS_URL=http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/js/$(LIBJS).tar.gz

to see if you have more success downloading the file via the HTTP
protocol? I'm wondering if your FTP connection may be being blocked
for some reason...
