This is the error am getting: # make install /usr/bin/perl "-Iblib/arch" "-Iblib/lib" fix-perl-path.PL blib /usr/bin/perl "-Iblib/arch" "-Iblib/lib" rewrite-config.PL blib/KOHA_CONF_DIR/koha-conf.xml Bad arg length for Socket::inet_ntoa, length is 0, should be 4 at rewrite-config.PL line 67. make: *** [blib/KOHA_CONF_DIR/koha-conf.xml] Error 110

Koha for library with special needs
by Krzysztof Wlodarski 22 Oct '08

22 Oct '08

We are considering to use Koha for a library at the Polish Cultural Foundation. The library has about 10,000 books which are mostly in Polish. The foundation is based in the U.S. and most patrons have computers configured with U.S. keyboard and they would not know or go to the trouble of localizing they keyboards to support Polish characters. Hence it is critical for us that the search can be performed using "normalized" keywords where all Polish special characters could be replaced with English "equivalents". For example, a city name "Łódź" could be found by typing "Lodz". So far we have experimented a little with Koha (I think version 2.2, but I am not sure since someone else configured it), and we were able to import some Polish titles and find them by entering exact Polish spelling, however, replacing special Polish characters with English equivalents did not seem to work. Does anyone know if "normalization" in searches can be done, and if so how to turn it on? If not, is it supported by any commercial version of Koha? Thank you in advance, Krzysztof __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

CPAN Error

21 Oct '08

Dear All I am installing perl modules (Ubuntu 8.04) using CPAN. I have installed it many times before but have never ran into this particular problem. When I run install command I receive the following message. cpan> install XML::RSS Running install for module XML::RSS The module XML::RSS isn't available on CPAN. Either the module has not yet been uploaded to CPAN, or it is temporary unavailable. Please contact the author to find out more about the status. Try 'i XML::RSS'. -- Thanks and Regards Sandeep Bhavsar Librarian Dr.V.N.Bedekar Institute of Management Studies Thane(W) 400601 MUMBAI.

Updating perl modules
by Chadwick, John, DCA 21 Oct '08

21 Oct '08

I am wondering how others who manage their own Koha installations deal with updating Perl modules. Do you do updates on a regular schedule? Are there gotchas associated with keeping things up to date? Thanks, John +----------------------------------------------------------------------- -----+ John Chadwick, Ed.D.

The best way to implement multiple databases
by Doug Dearden 21 Oct '08

21 Oct '08

Hello all, I am installing Koha 3.0 to catalog multiple databases for the same location. We are a small non-profit educational institution, where scholars come for advanced study. We have a collection that is only available to those on campus residents, and one that is available more widely to our members. I would like to set up the two databases on the same server, and configure Apache to listen on different ports or IP adresses for access to each of the catalogs. I want users to be able to browse via the OPAC without logging in. I can filter the traffic at the firewall to only allow access from off campus to the more widely available collection. I have read the doc online about the IndependentBranches option in the Global Preferences section, but am unclear on how this is implemented for each Library if it is turned on. I see that there is an IP option in the Libraries screen. If I fill that in with a different address for each Library, is it then a matter of adding a VirtualHost directive in the conf file? Or is there more config that needs to take place? Or am I better off installing this multiple times with separate databases for each catalog? Should I choose a Standard install, or are multiple Single installs the way to go? Just trying to get it right the first time. I am posting this a second time, as after a couple of hours the first post has not appeared and there is nothing in my email. Thanks, Doug

Email and MyMessaging in Koha 3
by Fooled One 20 Oct '08

20 Oct '08

Koha v. 3.01.00.002 on Debian Etch I have been having some issues with the email function in Koha 3. Notifications to the admin email address are not being sent despite the appearance that they are. For example, when I log into the OPAC under my patron account, and change my personal details - I am notified that staff will update my details when they receive the notification. Those notifications don't seem to be making it through. The same goes for when I try to email my cart items to myself. I get a message notifying me that the message has been sent, but I never recieve the email. Another issue is that the OPAC and the Staff client show the options to update messaging - email, rss, SMS, do not notify, etc..., but both interfaces only show the heading, but no options to actually choose anything. This feature seemed to work in the version just before 3.01.00.002 if I remember correctly. I do have KohaEmailAdminAddress set with our email address and EnhancedMessagingPreferences set to ON Is anyone else having the same issues?
