Sudo doesn't have to be that hard.  I'm not sure what action you're
having difficulty with that involves sudo, but if you just want a root
shell, like su would give you, try `sudo -s` for that or `sudo -i` for
a root login shell.

Can you paste the relevant content of these logs?  If you didn't do so
already, try `egrep 'ERR|WARN' /openils/var/log/osrfsys.log`.  You can
redact IP addresses and hostnames first if you consider them
sensitive.  The exact log messages may help somebody see the problem.
Also paste the log messages from ejabberd that you refer to.

As long as the machine has at least 2GB of RAM and otherwise seems to
behave, it's not very likely there's a hardware problem getting in the
way of setting up opensrf.  With more details and we may yet be able
to find the problem!
