by David Trask 31 Jul '03

Hi, I'm new to to the list (finally)....I'm a technology coordinator in Maine, USA and have been using E-Smith/, K12LTSP, and so forth extensively in my school for a couple years now. I'm really interested in getting Koha running, but want to keep the installation as simple as possible....I saw in the archives that some work has been done with releasing an RPM for installing on SME/Mitel/E-Smith.....can anyone point me to these files or let me know what the status of it is? Thanks! David N. Trask Technology Teacher/Coordinator Vassalboro Community School dtrask(a)vcs.u52.k12.me.us (207)923-3100

RE: [Koha] Koha Install - CGI Script Error

Ya, I am installing on windows. I may already be a littel infamous over on the win32 mail list. I thought that I might have better luck over here since it was a perl specific question. You are right though this is configuring perl on windows. I will send this message to both groups but will continue the discussion over there. For those on the Win32 list, this is the error I am getting: DBI object version 1.37 does not match $DBI::VERSION 1.14 at C:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 249. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:/Perl/lib/DBI.pm line 182. Compilation failed in require at C:/Perl/lib/C4/Database.pm line 25.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at c:\dev\www\opac\cgi-bin\koha\opac-main.pl line 6. I have also started discussing it on tek-tips: http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?SQID=616196&SPID=219&newpid=219&page… Since posting this I have completely uninstalled everything (Perl, mySQL, and Koha) and am starting from scratch. If that makes the error go away... GREAT! Otherwise, I'm hoping to have some better notes on what I am doing. > -----Original Message----- > From: MJ Ray [mailto:markj@cloaked.freeserve.co.uk] > Sent: Wednesday, July 30, 2003 11:16 AM > To: koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz > Subject: Re: [Koha] Koha Install - CGI Script Error > > > Jeff Cave <jeff.cave(a)sunergon.com> wrote: > > on a similar error.

Install Solutions
by Joshua Ferraro 30 Jul '03

30 Jul '03

Hi everyone, I just thought it would be useful to post the solutions to some problems I had while installing 2.0.0pre2. I'm running a barebones Debian 2.4 stable (woody) installation. 1. Dependency problems: Can't get Event or Net::Z3950 to install Event error: Event.xs:97: poll.h: No such file or directory In file included from Event.xs:279: c/signal.c:2: signal.h: No such file or directory make: *** [Event.o] Error 1 /usr/bin/make -- NOT OK Running make test Can't test without successful make Running make install make had returned bad status, install seems impossible So...it's looking for some c header files that are in libc6-dev #apt-get install libc6-dev Net::Z3950 error: ERROR: Unable to call script 'yaz-config': is YAZ installed? at Makefile.PL +line 6. Running make test Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't test Running make install Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't install So...yaz was installed but the devel yaz wasn't btw...if you're using debian you can grab yaz by adding deb http://www.indexdata.dk/debian indexdata/woody released deb-src http://www.indexdata.dk/debian indexdata/woody released to your /etc/apt/sources.list apt-get update apt-get install yaz apt-get install libyaz-dev Net::Z3950 installed with no problems after that. 2. apache configuration Ok...this is pretty simple. I had to add Include /etc/koha-httpd.conf to the bottom of the /etc/apache/httpd.conf file and I had to uncoment the env_module in the LoadModules section of /etc/apache/h ttpd.conf Hope that's helpful, Joshua

Koha Install - CGI Script Error
by Jeff Cave 30 Jul '03

30 Jul '03

I just installed koha on my machine and got everything linked up, went to test it and... DBI object version 1.37 does not match $DBI::VERSION 1.14 at C:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 249. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:/Perl/lib/DBI.pm line 182. Compilation failed in require at C:/Perl/lib/C4/Database.pm line 25. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:/Perl/lib/C4/Database.pm line 25. Compilation failed in require at C:/Perl/lib/C4/Auth.pm line 25. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:/Perl/lib/C4/Auth.pm line 25. Compilation failed in require at c:\dev\www\opac\cgi-bin\koha\opac-main.pl line 6. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at c:\dev\www\opac\cgi-bin\koha\opac-main.pl line 6. I am not much of a perl guy (though I'm willing to learn), so I'm not sure how to read this. I ran a couple of google searches and got results on a similar error. They were caused by conflicting modules but I'm not sure what I would have to do to fix this. Any advice on what could be causing this would be apreciated.

FW: [Koha] data import question
by Bigwood, David 30 Jul '03

30 Jul '03

It seems folks are having problems getting their data clean. Here are some free tools that might help get it in better shape before importing. Showmarc is a DOS program that will show all the MARC fields used and how many times each is used. http://www.auto-graphics.com/download/SHOWMARC.EXE MarcEdit (Windows) can change records into human readable format and back again. It includes an editor, ability to mass add or delete fields, a field counter, and find and replace. A nice tool, should be a part of every cataloging dept. http://oregonstate.edu/~reeset/marcedit/html/index.html MARC RTP (DOS) has the ability to report the subfields as well as the fields used. It also gives how long the longest instance is. http://marc.ise.canberra.edu.au/ MARC/Perl is a powerful tool with functions only limited by your coding ability. http://marcpm.sourceforge.net/ Hope this helps some folks clean up their records. Sincerely, David Bigwood bigwood(a)lpi.usra.edu Lunar & Planetary Institute Cataloging News http://www.catalogablog.blogspot.com -----Original Message----- From: Larry Stamm [mailto:larry@larrystamm.com] Sent: Monday, July 21, 2003 11:14 PM To: koha Subject: Re:[Koha] data import question Hi Derek, I find the bulkmarcimport script to be interminably slow, entering only about 6000 items per hour on our 950 MHz CPU server running Mandrake 9.0. It is not much slower on my 266 MHZ home machine that I am using as a test machine. Because I have to enter all 15,000 items from our collection to really test for errors in my MARC "munging", it means another 2 1/2 hr wait to load up all the items again after fixing a mistake before testing. I might get frustrated enough to try my hand at writing a faster upload script... -- Larry Stamm, Chair McBride and District Public Library McBride, BC V0J 2E0 Canada http://www.mcbridebc.org/library

Re: [Koha] MARC RECORD PROBLEM

I have a suggestion and then a question: Suggestion: There is a nice little MARC editor you can download for Windows at http://oregonstate.edu/~reeset/marcedit/html/downloads.html -- this will format your data correctly. Question: I am brand-spankin' new to Koha and have 2.0.0pre2 running on a Redhat 9.0 box. I have 28,000 MARC records to load and would love it if someone could point me to any instructions that would help me load these records.... :-) Thanks, Greg Greg Lambert, JD, MLIS Project Manager Amigos Library Services, Inc. 5000 Gulf FWY Building 9 - Univ.

Problem when searching by subject in OPAC
by Ben Hall 30 Jul '03

30 Jul '03

Afternoon all, I've successfully read-in all my records from CDS/ISIS and I'm now doing a little searching to check the data is ok. Everything looks good except for one thing. When I try and search by subject with the search term of "tuna" in the OPAC system I get this internal server error: type = subject at /www/servers/koha/modules/C4/Search.pm line 858. Can't use string ("1") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at /www/servers/koha/modules/C4/Search.pm line 1118. [Wed Jul 30 16:36:38 2003] [error] [client 10.1.1.81] Premature end of script headers: /www/servers/opac/cgi-bin/opac-searchresults.pl A tad curious, I tried the same subject search in the KOHA admin system, and what do you know it, a search by "Tuna" returned results ok -- all is good in the Koha admin section. I then went back into the OPAC catalogue search and tried a subject search, but this time with a numeric value of "1" instead of "Tuna". On this occasion the search worked fine; no internal server error. Strange. Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated. I'm using the lastest koha-2.0.0pre2 tarball downloaded from sourceforge.

Tuesday, July 29, 2003 15:57 CDT Hi, all, again, OK, so dumping that MARC record into my email's editor didn't work. Sorry. Inserting breaks this time (so what follows won't work as a valid MARC record anymore: line breaks and · at the ends of the various fields for 'legibility') the raw MARC record for Rahayu's example book would look something like this: 01153cam 2200301 a4500001000900000005001700009 [<-leader&directory] 008004100026906004500067925004200112955013200154 010001700286·015001500303·020001500318·035002300333·040002300356 042001400379·050002200393·082001900415100002000434 245013400454·260003000588·300002500618·440002500643 504006400668·650002100732·650002000753·856007800773 1269593120020817203133.0020308s2002 nyu b 001 0 eng d a7bcbcccopycatd2encipf20gy-gencatlg0 aacquireb2 shelf copyxpolicy default aps10 2002-03-08 to SSCDise02 2002-03-11; se00 recd copy 2 2002-03-15cse03 2002-03-22ese03 03-22-02 To Deweyaaa19 2002-04-08 a 2002277403 aGBA1-U8291 a0471126500 a(OCoLC)ocm48362961 aUKMcUKMdJBOdDLC alccopycat00aHG4751b.C36 200200a332.67/2532211 aCamp, Justin J.10aVenture capital due diligence :ba guide to making smart investment choices and increasing your portfolio returns /cJustin Camp. aNew York :bWiley,c2002. axi, 258 p. ;c24 cm. 0aWiley finance series aIncludes bibliographical references (p. 227-246) and index. 0aVenture capital. 0aRate of return.413Table of contentsuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ wiley022/2002277403.html (Hopefully, this'll go through this time.)
