Hello Dave and Karen,

The instructions for installing Evergreen on Ubuntu were written/edited by me 
specifically for the stable 1.0.x branch.  They should work with minimal 
changes for some of the 1.1.x development builds, but will be missing critical 
steps for 1.2.x, as OpenSRF has been pulled out as a separate build.

The project is in an awkward state at this moment, as there is no official 
build that is both current and stable (coming soon!).  I have been resisting 
changes to the Wiki until 1.2.x passes the release candidate stage, but may 
create a new page to accommodate it if the RC process drags on too long due to 
something unforeseen.

So, you have a few options at this point:
1) Install 1.0.x.  The install should smoothly follow the Wiki guide, and you 
will at least get a live install to see what Evergreen is like.
2) Stick with 1.2.x, making sure to install OpenSRF.  You should be able to 
install most things based on the Ubuntu guide, but check out the Gentoo guide 
for the last bits, specifically the sections beginning with "Installing 
OpenSRF" 
http://www.open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=installing_prerequisites_on_gentoo 
People here are always willing to work through specific sticking points, and I 
will be sure to glean any troubleshooting info from your posts to add to the 
future 1.2.x wiki page :)
3) If you just want to see Evergreen in action, grab VMWare Player and one of 
the VMWare images.  The Ubuntu image is functional, but a few months old at 
this point.  The Gentoo image looks more up to date if your heart isn't set on 
Ubuntu.

Good luck,
DW
