Installing Net::z3950
by Michael Rudmin 24 Mar '03

24 Mar '03

I tried running perl installer.pl , as an alternative setup method. What I got back was a message "The Net::z3950 module is missing. This module is necessary if you want to download records from other libraries. To install this module, get the yaz client from http://www.indexdata.dk/yaz, and install the perl module with the command perl -MCPAN -e 'install Net::z3950'. So I went ahead and installed YAZ, and then ran the perl line described. I got back a bunch of errors that FTP sites couldn't be found, beginning with the message Please, install Net:FTP as soon as possible. CPAN.pm installs it for you if you just type install Bundle::libnet followed by the message "Looking up ftp.perl.org... unable to locate remote host ftp.perl.org. Unable to connect to FTP host. There is more about looking up information, and such, and failing, and asking if I want to edit my sources. Anyhow, when I try to type #install Bundle::libnet I get similar errors. Does anyone know what I have to do to get this running? __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Where is C4 directory?
by Michael Rudmin 24 Mar '03

24 Mar '03

Hi, I'm a first time Koha installer. Worse, I'm first time for most of Apache, MySql, but I seem to have those systems up and running already. --------------- QUICK START GUIDE LINK: http://koha.org/installation/quick-start.html --------------- Anyhow, I was going through the Quick Start Guide, and got to step 7, "Create directories...", and it said "Next, copy the C4 directory...." Okay, my files are all in /home/mokrudmin/app_downloads/koha/untar/koha-1.2.3 I don't see any "C4" directory there; I'm guesing that I'm supposed to look in "scripts", but there I only see "marc","misc","t","telnet","tkperl","translator","updater", and "z3849daemon". Can someone tell me where this C4 directory is? Alternatively, if the quick-start installation guide is out of date, should I be using a main installation manual instead? Thanks. - Michael Rudmin teacher, Vydunas Gimnasium, Silute Lithuania __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Hey All....
by Nicholas S. Rosasco 24 Mar '03

24 Mar '03

It's almost that time again.... Since we're looking at an upcoming 2.0 release for Koha, it is time to start reading the section of the manual everyone loves to hate :), the Installation Section. At the Wiki look under "Koha - Documentation Writer Links" on: http://www.saas.nsw.edu.au/wiki/index.php?page=KohaProject NewSectionOneA (The first part, covering basic install) NewSectionOneB (Manual Install) NewSectionOneC (Alternative Options) These all need overhauls, if only because of technical changes in Koha and the pathnames, etc. If you've installed Koha, or if you've been looking to contribute somehow [feel free to insert questions where you think things are unclear], PLEASE have at these wiki sections. If you're not in the CREDITS list, this will get you listed in it! If you are, umm.... I think up some other incentive. Maybe I can get Katipo to contribute cute photos of Olive or something :) Thanks to Regula and the folks at HLT, the handy section that helps librarians will be ready in record time (as soon as I get a chance to finish folding in some changes and additions they've been good enough to send me). And, barring a huge shift in the way Koha's contributors work, the sections for developers will remain much the same. Fire away, all, Nick Documentation victim, Koha.

MARC Bulk Koha Import Perl
by Johan Ugander 20 Mar '03

20 Mar '03

Hello Kohaers, I'm trying to set up Koha for our meager library here at Deep Springs, 25k volumes or so, and we're currently going through the process of building a digital register (essentially replacing an abandoned collection of poorly kept records)...which has been timely, but with lots of help we're more than half way through. However, this register was built on some assumptions that I'm hoping hoping hoping are true. 1) Is there is a scriptable way (even if i have to write it myself) of getting full MARC records into a database from a tabulated list of ISBNs, LCNs, Titles, Authors, Publishers, or some combination there of? This would essentially involving querying the Library of Congress database directly somehow. Through a perl module? hmm. There is an old MARC database lying around on a CD that has ~15k of the records, but we don't know which ones...heh heh heh. This place suffers from a horribly short institutional memory. But enough about us. So while this first step is a pretty big step, I am also very interested in getting this second step working indifferent of step 1 since we _do_ have the ~15k records in MARC. 2) Doing a Bulk import of MARC into Koha. This I assume you all know a lot about, and I just need to be pointed in the right direction. I'm a fairly proficient perler, so I should be able to figure it out...I've read about something called bulkmarcimport? is this in full operation? The first issue is one I would greatly appreciate help with, though it is something I need to figure out pre-Koha, and is not necessarily the forte of this list. Of course, any and all help anyone can provide would be much appreciated. Thank you, Johan Ugander Deep Springs College

General Introduction
by Luke Ottrey 19 Mar '03

19 Mar '03

Dear All, Thought that I should introduce myself to the community - My name is Luke Ottrey and operate a small IT-consultancy in Melbourne, Australia. I am currently studying at university in the "Bachelor of Multimedia Business Computing" at Monash University, Berwick. My approach to Koha is with a view of implementing it in the Victorian education sectors - in particular with my current primary & secondary school contacts. I would be extremely keen to learn of any deployments of Koha particularly in Victoria, Australia - and if there are any other education (school, university) institutions that may not have deployed Koha yet - but who are considering doing so. Also, many thanks to Adam of Strategic Data for his brief run down of how his company has implemented Koha in the past - your assistance was greatly appreciated. As a brief background to myself, my company has strategic alliances with many of the major Internet carriers in Australia, provide internet access, also consulting with both the education and logistic industries (freight forwarders, shipping companies) and am currently involved with developing an extensive logistics platform for a company. Looking forward to working with you all. Luke Ottrey Purple Lion IT Solutions Web: www.purplelion.net Ph: 0408 675 648 Fax: +61 3 9886 7349

hi all, I need some help from experts out there. I've installed koha 1.2.3 but experience some problem to setup fine. when I run http://163.128.16.100:12000/cgi-bin/koha/charges.pl, it will pass the data that I key-in to http://163.128.16.100:12000/cgi-bin/koha/updatecharges.pl but in the script says: my $sth=$dbh->prepare("Update categoryitem set fine=$dat[0],startcharge=$dat[1],chargeperiod=$dat[2] where categorycode='$bor' and itemtype='$cat'"); unfortunately, thereis no column named "startcharge" in the table categoryitem. Is this a bug? hope there'll be somebody willing to help me. rgds -nawawi- __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: UK Koha users?
by Andrea Chandler 17 Mar '03

17 Mar '03

I'm sure I'm not the only British librarian lurking on this mailing list. Is there anyone out there in the UK using or considering Koha who would like to share ideas? And is there anyone offering formal support in England? There was nothing up on the website. Email me off-list if you wish. Regards, Andrea Chandler
