Koha 3.0 on Redhat ES4.0?
by Barry Cannon 04 Feb '09

04 Feb '09

Has anyone successfully installed Koha on Redhat ES4? I am having a lot of trouble with libicu which depends on GLIBC being versin 2.4. However, the lastest version, on the Redhat Network, for Redhat 4 is GLIBC-2.3. It doesn't like being altered in any way either. Error: * libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4) is needed by libicu-3.6-18.fc7.i386 rtld(GNU_HASH) is needed by libicu-3.6-18.fc7.i386* Has anyone any suggestions? Thanks

PTFS Support for the Koha Community
by Yokley, John 04 Feb '09

04 Feb '09

Dear members of the Koha user community. Please note that the press release posted to the Koha.org site on January 29th was inappropriate and deceptive. Here are the facts: PTFS submitted an application to be included on the Koha support list Web page on 11/03/2008 and we fully complied with the policies posted at that time. The rules to allow a company to be listed on that page were subsequently changed after our application was submitted and we received a rejection email on 11/06/2008. PTFS sent another email on 1/15/09 indicating that we were now ready to resubmit our application and asking for clarification on the latest policies. We are now able to comply with the revised rules that now include client contracts, references and a working Koha installation. We fully intend to resubmit our application. Note that PTFS is well equipped to support this marketplace and we are just beginning to gear up to do so. We currently employ over twenty librarians on staff who implement, configure, train and support software management solutions for libraries. We also have a software development group well suited to support Koha development. I have been advised that there are community concerns over code submission. While we have not yet completed a Koha development project, we fully intend to provide the source code to our customers for submission to the community. PTFS, Inc. is a company that has been in the information industry since 1995. We have been installing and supporting commercial ILS systems for over a dozen years and are now focusing our expertise to provide high quality support and development to the Open Source ILS community. We also think we can add significant value to the library community by integrating our ArchivalWare content management system with the Koha Open Source ILS. See press release from SLA, June of last year http://www.ptfs.com/company/press_releases_current.aspx <http://www.ptfs.com/company/press_releases_current.aspx> . I do not typically post notes to lists but felt I needed to respond to this issue personally. In addition, I do not think this list is the forum for this type of conversation. If you want more information on PTFS or this issue we would be happy to talk to you directly by phone or email.

KOHA Question V.2
by Lisa O'Neill 04 Feb '09

04 Feb '09

Hi There, I need the Library to become self sufficient in my absence and would like users (who are staff members) to be able to see who has an item out on loan, so its easy for them to approach the staff member. I was wondering if this was possible for users to see who has an item on loan under status for KOHA version 2.2.9, and if so how can I implement this on the system? Regards, Lisa O'Neill METIER3 Pty Ltd. ABN 31 499 541 615 Level 3, Building 5, 658 Church Street Richmond Vic 3121 Australia

Koha for consortiums (Steven Owley)
by jminges 04 Feb '09

04 Feb '09

Hi Steve, There are several consortia I am aware of that are implementing Koha, including but not necessarily limited to Northeast Kansas Library System (my system), Southeast Kansas Library System, Central Kansas Library System, INCOLSA, MASSCAT, WALDO, ICAN (Ohio), and Big Country Library System (Texas). INCOLSA is maintaining a Koha consortia discussion list at koha-consort(a)incolsa.net . Please feel free to contact INCOLSA and sign up for that so you can post questions. We operate in a shared database environment in which users can place holds on items in all participating libraries. Libraries are essentially treated as branches. Individual have individual policy profiles except where only one global setting is allowed, but as much as possible they agree to share consistent policies regarding item types, circulation periods, etc. Libraries also use collection codes to identify collections within their libraries. Feel free to look at our OPAC at http://catalog.nexpresslibrary.org/ and our project web site at http://www.nexpresslibrary.org/. If you have specific questions contact me anytime.

Access denied for user 'kohaadmin'@'localhost' koha 2.2.9 setup
by Marty 03 Feb '09

03 Feb '09

I am making my own life miserable.... While installing koha 3 I accidentally somehow deleted koha 2.2.9 (Yes, yes, stupid, I know, luckily it's not the production server yet) So, I thought, big deal, I reinstall it (for the sake of updating from there to koha 3) but I keep getting this: Creating the MySQL database for Koha... ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'kohaadmin'@'localhost' (using password: YES) DBI connect('Koha:localhost','kohaadmin',...) failed: Access denied for user 'kohaadmin'@'localhost' (using password: YES) at /usr/local/koha/intranet/modules/C4/Context.pm line 411 Can't call method "prepare" on an undefined value at scripts/updater/updatedatabase line 1553. Problem updating database... I do have the password, I can login to mysql debian:/home/marty/koha-2.2.9# mysql -u kohaadmin -p Enter password: Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. So where do I enter the password? Or what could be wrong? I had Koha 2.2.9 running fine until I screwed up.... Marty

Can't install Net::Z3950::ZOOM in Ubuntu
by Dr Emits 03 Feb '09

03 Feb '09

Hi, I installed the latest Ubuntu package today and followed this tutorial: http://www.blazingmoon.org/guides/k3-on-u810-1.html I think pretty much all went well and that I found this error when visiting the Koha instranet: Koha error The following fatal error has occurred: Can't locate ZOOM.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/share/koha/lib /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Context.pm line 84. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Context.pm line 84. Compilation failed in require at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Output.pm line 30. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Output.pm line 30. Compilation failed in require at /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/mainpage.pl line 23. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/mainpage.pl line 23. I think this may be becuase I just can't seem to install this 'Net::Z3950::ZOOM' which seems to be the only think not installing. When I try to install it I get the error message: "libnet-z3950-zoom-perl: Depends: libyaz3 but it is not going to be installed" When I try to install libyaz3 I get the following error message: "libyaz3: Depends: libgnutls13 (>=1.4.0-0) but it is not installable Depends: libicu36 but it is not installable" A kind fellow on the IRC chat channel provided me with .deb links to the above 'uninstallable' packages. The libicu36 one seemed to install fine (although cannot be found in the synaptic package manager. libicu38 is installed however). The libgnutls13 however did not. (Error: dependency is not satifiable: libopencdk10). What on earth am I to do? Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Emits

table structures
by Lenora Oftedahl 03 Feb '09

03 Feb '09

Hello all (again). In Koha 2.2 documentation, there was an appendix listing what was in each of the tables. I thought I'd seen that information for Koha 3.0, but now, of course, I can't re-locate. Could someone please point me in the right direction? Thanx. Lenora StreamNet Regional Librarian Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission
