Thanks to Government of Kerala, and how to add your library to libwebcats
by Tina Burger 20 Aug '08

20 Aug '08

Here's a thanks to the *Government of Kerala *for making their press release available on http://librarytechnology.org http://librarytechnology.org is a website run by a widely-read U.S. researcher (Marshall Breeding) who tracks ILS usage across all continents. Inclusion on his website results in more accurate reporting on Koha usage in articles written by Marshall as well as other journalists and researchers who use his site to gather data. I encourage all who are using Koha or plan to use Koha to send press releases to Marshall at: marshall.breeding(a)vanderbilt.edu ... and to add their library/s to the libwebcats database on his website. To add a library to libwebcats: - go to http://librarytechnology.org - 'register' by following the "Register" as an Library Technology Guides member at the bottom of the left hand column - after registering, click on 'libwebcats' (left hand column, 4th link down) - search for your library using the search box provided (someone may have already added you!) - if your library is not found, click 'submit a library' - fill out the form to the best of your ability and click 'submit entry to libwebcats' at the bottom of the page Remember: Make sure to fill out the 'current automation field' with Koha so the Koha statistics are accurate If your company is not listed as a Koha provider, feel free to write Marshall and request to be added. Feel free to email me directly if you have any questions about this (I've used his site many times!) Cheers, Tina -- Tina N.

MIME::Lite issues
by benson Mugambi 20 Aug '08

20 Aug '08

Hi folks, I have been trying to install Koha 3.00.00 on Debian - Ubuntu 7.0 for testing purposes, i run Makefile.PL and after it checks on the dependent perl modules it keeps on reporting that MIME::Lite 3.0 is missing. I have already installed Lite 3.021 because i cant trace the repository for 3.0, so i edit Makefile.PL line 571 and make it to read: 'MIME::Lite' => 3.021, I run Makefile.PL again and this is the warning i get: [Wed Aug 20 08:51:56 2008] Makefile.PL: Warning: prerequisite MIME::Lite 3.021 not found. But after i run cpan and check on the installed MIME::Lite, it indicates 3.021 installed. CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.18) Going to read /home/ben/.cpan/Metadata Database was generated on Sun, 17 Aug 2008 15:02:49 GMT Strange distribution name [MIME::Lite] Module id = MIME::Lite DESCRIPTION Easily create MIME/SMTP mails w/attachements CPAN_USERID YVES (Yves <yves(a)cpan.org>) CPAN_VERSION 3.021 CPAN_FILE R/RJ/RJBS/MIME-Lite-3.021.tar.gz UPLOAD_DATE 2007-12-03 DSLIP_STATUS RdpOa (released,developer,perl,object-oriented,Artistic) MANPAGE MIME::Lite - low-calorie MIME generator INST_FILE /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/MIME/Lite.pm INST_VERSION 3.021 I have now hit the snag, how do i navigate this and force an installation?

Manage Staged Records Hangs in 3.00.00
by Nathan McNew 19 Aug '08

19 Aug '08

Several weeks ago I set up a server with Koha 3 beta2 in preparation for migrating to Koha once koha 3.0 final was released. I have now set up a brand new server running Debian and Koha 3.00.00 and I am attempting to set up the same configuration that I had on the original server. As part of this I need to import two large marc record files. When I attempt to manage the staged records the progress quickly hangs, and makes no progress for several hours. After attempting to import file1, I could look at the results and see that biblios 1-149 showed as imported, while 150 onwards remained as staged. Fighting with this for awhile, I got file1 to import fine using bulkmarcimport.pl, and attempted again to use the web interface for file2. This again hung, although biblios 1-549 had successfully imported this time, after that again shows as staged. I would rather not use bulkmarcimport.pl again, as there are duplicate biblios that I would like to merge, and from my understanding this is only possible with the web interface. Both of these exact files imported just fine on Koha 3 beta2. Other than upgrading to koha 3.0 final the configuration should be the same. Is there anything that could have broken this functionality in koha 3 final? Watching top after the import hangs, there is a process "background-job-" which appears to respawn every few seconds with a new pid. Nothing interesting seems to show up in any of the log files. I am using zebra, and the koha-zebra and koha-zebraqueue daemons are both running.

Katipo/Koha Relationship With Greenstone Question
by gsl 19 Aug '08

19 Aug '08

http://www.greenstone.org/ Is there any relationship between Koha, with particular reference to Katipo Communications or other current NZ developers, and Greenstone? Would Greenstone and Koha be seen as having competing (presumably on friendly terms) or complimentary interests? Greg Greg Lawson Rolling Hills Consolidated Library 1912 N.

Important links where?
by Betsy Law 18 Aug '08

18 Aug '08

The OPAC default screen in 3.0 includes the text "Important links here," which looks very mysterious without any of my important links. I've banged around but can't see where this is to change it. Could someone please hand me a flashlight? --Betsy Law
