[Koha] Re: Koha on etch - a pain?

I followed that useful document too. I managed to install 2.2.7 on sarge and 
I managed to upgrade that to 2.2.9 also. But I didn't give much attention to 
the enconding problem. So I wanted to start all over again and do it 
properly. (I need a good utf-8 support on Koha because I think that's the 
only way I can upload my old bibliographical data - I even managed to do 
so).

When did you do your install? Some weeks ago or more than two months? 
Because I have the feeling the problem has to do with new versions of some 
perl modules. 

By the way: Could you do a little test for me? Retrieving a record with the 
z3950-search I get the data entered in latin1 into the MARC-framework. But 
I'm quite sure the server delivers the record in utf8 (I checked with 
MarcEdit). 

So if you could search ISBN 3170183338 on server aleph.unibas.ch port 9909 
database IDS_UTF language MARC21 you should get a title with ü and ä in 
it. With me the two letters are represented with ? and only if I change the 
display-encoding in the firefox they appear correctly. I would be most 
grateful to hear what you get.

Yes. I can see everything. I can manage alterations in the sytem parameters. 
The only thing witch for me didn't work until now is addbiblio 

Thank you and greetings           Beda
