 Maybe I'm a newb, but I can't get a local install to work.

 The instructions I am using are the current svn instructions, as of r3156
 [source:trunk/openlayers/readme.txt]:
 {{{
 ---------------------
 Installing OpenLayers
 ---------------------

 You can use OpenLayers as-is by copying build/OpenLayers.js and the
 entire lib/ directory up to your webserver, putting them in the same
 directory. To include the OpenLayers library in your web page, use:

   <script type="text/javascript" src="OpenLayers.js" />

 If you want to use the multiple-file version of OpenLayers (for, say,
 debugging or development purposes), copy the lib/ directory up to your
 webserver in the same directory you put the img/ folder. Then add
 the following to your web page instead:

   <script type="text/javascript" src="lib/OpenLayers.js" />
 }}}

 I was testing openlayers, using the example in lite.html, and as
 documented in MappingYourData. It all works very well, and I have a decent
 map design. I want to move it to an internal web server, but when I follow
 the above instructions, I am unable to get it to install.

 Steps to reproduce:
  1. svn co openlayers...
  2. cd openlayers/build
  3. ./build.py
  4. cp OpenLayers.js ~/html/
  5. cp -R ../lib ~/html/lib
  6. Modify the js include
     1. from {{{<script
 src="http://openlayers.org/dev/lib/OpenLayers.js"></script>}}}
     2. to   {{{<script src="/OpenLayers.js"></script>}}}
     3. then {{{<script src="<?php if($_SERVER['HTTPS']) {print
 'https://';} else {print 'http://';};print
 $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];?>/OpenLayers.js"></script> }}}
     4. then {{{<script src="<?php if($_SERVER['HTTPS']) {print
 'https://';} else {print 'http://';};print
 $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];?>/lib/OpenLayers.js"></script> }}}
     5. then {{{<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php
 if($_SERVER['HTTPS']) {print 'https://';} else {print 'http://';};print
 $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];?>/lib/OpenLayers.js"></script>}}}

 In all cases, it loads the WMS file, but the map paraphernalia and widgets
 do not draw. They are either broken links, or missing, and the coordinate
 of the mouse is reported in the top left.

 Hmmm...

 At this point, I think I've done everything required, but obviously I
 haven't. That's what leads me to believe the docs are the problem.
