[ome-devel] Cvs install broken

[Curtis Rueden]

Hi Kris,

I've seen similar DBD::Pg::db errors before. It seems various versions 
of DBD::Pg (including some of the latest ones) are broken with respect 
to OME. On our Debian systems, DBD::Pg 1.32 definitely works (I am 
fairly sure 1.22 also works). Alternately, you can refrain from 
installing DBD::Pg manually or with your package manager, and instead 
allow the OME installer to download and install its preferred version, 
which I believe should work.

I was planning to test my claims with the latest OME from CVS today, but 
ran into an error of my own much earlier (included below, in case anyone 
else knows what's wrong).
