There's also no chance that the perl module will work until you've got the CDK C library installed properly - there's no point doing anything with perl until you've got to the stage where the demos that come with the CDK C library work. Paste in the actual errors you get compiling the CDK C library, and we'll likely going to be able to give more succinct help.

Need help with installation

Hi, I am very interested in Koha and wish to install and use it and hopefuly in the fullness of time contribute to the end product. However, at the moment I am a newbie to installing perl modules and would welcome any help to getting the circulation telnet program working. I get the error cant find cdk.pm. I have the koha and opac web server side of things working and I've installed and created the tables etc needed in MySQL. this cdk problem looks like its the last hurdle. Thanks in advance Brad Joyce bradj(a)coffsccs.nsw.edu.au

HI, I forgot to mention last week (in my excitement:-) that Koha won another award. An Interactive New Zealand Award - which is a tasteful bronze statue of a hand. We were judged "The best example of interactive media specifically made for community and not for profit organisations." http://www.inz.org.nz Cheers Rachel _____________________________________________________________ Rachel Hamilton-Williams Katipo Communications WEBMISTRESS ph 025 300 825 or +64 04 389 1285 mailto:rachel@katipo.co.nz PO Box 7039, Wellington http://www.katipo.co.nz New Zealand

Thanks Kaye and Sue and all of you. You were a big part of what gave us the edge over the other competitors.e > Congratulations, and I'm sure you can tell from the enthusiasm that > constantly comes across in the list that we all think you deserve it. It was a bit funny talking to some of the commercial system vendors, they weren't shaking in their boots, but I think we gave them pause for thought :-) Oh and had a few of the sales folk keen to jump ship :-) Cheers rachel _____________________________________________________________ Rachel Hamilton-Williams Katipo Communications WEBMISTRESS ph 025 300 825 or +64 04 389 1285 mailto:rachel@katipo.co.nz PO Box 7039, Wellington http://www.katipo.co.nz New Zealand

Koha wins innovation award
by Rachel Hamilton-Williams 17 Oct '00

Hi all, Thought you'd love to hear that Koha has just won the 3M Innovation in Libraries award at the New Zealand library conference last night. We were one of 3 finalists in the awards, and the winners were chosen by a combination of a panel of judges and votes from the conference delegates. We got a huge response from the delegates, and the 3M people are already talking about writing an open source interfacey protocol thing to their self check system. I'm working on putting Rosalies notes together with the presentatation slides so that you can all see what we said, and will let you know when they are up.
