Windows installer Package
by Jeff Williams 25 Feb '03

25 Feb '03

Rob Thanks for you comments re the installer. I have seen many opensource projects package up MySQL and Apache without problems. The one I have not seen is perl. I dont think there is an issue with placing them all in one package providing all remains open source. The installer I use is open and free Innosetup. One of the best installers around. I have just started developing/testing an installer for UltraVNC (remote support tool for Windows 9x,NT4,2000,ME,XP). I will start on the work to package everything up next week and get a sample ready for the three (Apache, MySQL and Perl group) to view. Regards Jeff

I have installed Koha version 1.2.3 on Red Linux 8.0.

Install problems Red Hat 8.0
by Support Dept 25 Feb '03

25 Feb '03

I have a complete Red Hat 8.0 install. I have tried to install both version 1.2.3 and 1.9 and can't get past the Perl module install. The first module I tried to install, HTML::Template gives me the following error: HTML::Template->new() : Unknown or unmatched TMPL construct at /fake/path/for/non/file/template : line 7. at blib/lib/HTML/Template.pm line 2230. make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 255 /usr/bin/make test -- NOT OK Running make install make test had returned bad status, won't install without force I tried the Z3950 module install and got similar results. Have I missed something? My previous experience with linux is installing RPM's. I am trying to get this running for our small school (100 kids) library in the Queensland Sunshine Coast. If I can't get the prereqisites installed, I can't use the software. The school is currently running ALICE library software, but the extra licences are too expensive to put in extra terminals.

preliminary info about Koha needed
by Raj Shekhar 24 Feb '03

24 Feb '03

I have been asked by a small temple to automate the library system their. The system they are currently using has been made by a total dumb wit using MySQL as backend and VB for creating the frontend. THe code and the database organization is so bad it can bring tears to the most stone hearted of the developers. Anyways after doing some research on Freshmeat, I came across Koha and was struck by the elegance of the system. After I showed them Koha, they were very willing to shift their whole system to GNU/Linux and start using Koha. However as I do not know much about a Libray system I wanted to clear a few doubts about Koha before moving the existing system. If you can just point me the relevant web pages I will try to work out the rest myself. - Can the book numbers be generated by Koha? The librarian at the temple too has not much idea of managing the library, he is doing it as a social service. The library has started only a few days back and they have not numbered the books. So they do not have any preferences as to which system is used to give numbers to the book. - Some of the books have been donated. Can these be shown seperately when an inventory record is generate? Thanks in advance. Regards Raj Shekhar __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Tax Center - forms, calculators, tips, more http://taxes.yahoo.com/

by Marie Buchler 24 Feb '03

24 Feb '03

We have recently installed koha for our small library. 1. Is it possible to record borrowings without using a barcode. I couldn't get it to do this. 2. What kind of barcode system have you used and could anybody recommend suppliers in the Auckland region. Thanks, Marie Buchler EcoQuest Education Foundation
