Got OpenERP Server running on Mint Gloria (Ubuntu Jaunty)

Finally successfully ran OpenERP Server.  Not sure if everything else works yet, but it's running.

I'm on Linux Mint Gloria, which is essentially Ubuntu Jaunty.  Every time I try to run "openerp-server", I get this error message:

    ERROR: Import xpath module 
    ERROR: Try to install the old python-xml package 

Here's my fix:

  1. Downloaded and installed the .deb of version 5.0.1 of openerp-server (the Gloria/Jaunty package is v.5.0.0) from packages.debian.org.  Installed the 5.0.1 client as well.
  2. Created this symbolic link:  sudo ln -s /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/oldxml/_xmlplus/utils/boolean.so /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/_xmlplus/utils/boolean.so

And it ran!  Still haven't tried anything else but run the server.  Don't know if anything else works.

Thanks to this thread for helping figure things out.
