Have you tried compiling the latest source code updates? Previously, mercs were loaded from a view instead of from the merc related tables. The view could run into certain issues, so I recently changed it to no longer rely on the view at all.
All you should need to do in order to enable mercs is this:
1. Set the AllowMercs rule to true.
2. Create a Merc Merchant NPC that is class 71.
3. Add the NPC ID of the Merc Merchant to the merc_merchant_entries table. (an example is merc_merchant_entry_id = 1, merc_merchant_template_id = 1, and merchant_id = 123456, where 123456 is the NPC ID of the Merc Merchant)
4. Restart your server.
That should be it. If that is not working, then there may be something else wrong with your merc tables (such as a missing update). If you ran the mercs.sql file, then you overwrote some of the updates since that file was created and your queries will fail. Make sure you also applied all merc related sql from after that change as well (which I think are the ones in the git/required folder). The only one I know of for sure offhand is the specialabilities field updates for mercs.
You should be able to watch your server console logs when you try to right click on the Merc Merchant to see if you are getting any SQL errors. If you get errors, post them and it should be easy to figure out what is missing.
