I'm installing Koha 3.02 on Ubuntu 8.04. Everything looked good up until I tried to install HTTP::OAI, then I started getting errors. Any thoughts, suggestions, or can I just force it and forget about it?
For what it's worth, I'm getting the same errors that you are having, when installing "HTTP::OAI" version 3.21 from CPAN. I'm NOT using Ubuntu but SLES 11 (SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11) and openSUSE 11.0 I have reported these problems, in this same Koha mailing list, a few days ago (on 9-Jun-2009): [Koha] Problems installing HTTP::OAI from CPAN for Koha 3.0.2 http://lists.katipo.co.nz/public/koha/2009-June/018789.html Galen Charlton, from LibLime, has kindly replied on that same day, saying that he's not having these problems, when installing HTTP::OAI on a fresh Debian Lenny (Debian 5.0) installation and he suspected that the errors that I had got might be related to some setup in my XML::LibXML installation or other XML processing dependency: http://lists.katipo.co.nz/public/koha/2009-June/018790.html I have investigated further and it seemed to me (and it still seems, but I may be wrong) that's not the real issue: http://lists.katipo.co.nz/public/koha/2009-June/018804.html I have sent an e-mail message to Tim Brody (author and maintainer of the HTTP::OAI module), also on 9 June 2009, to the e-mail address that appears in this web page: http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/people/tdb2 I haven't received a reply, but only 3 days have passed, so that might be normal. I have also visited the official page for this HTTP-OAI module, at: Tim Brody / HTTP-OAI - search.cpan.org http://search.cpan.org/dist/HTTP-OAI/ I saw a link there to "Discussion Forum", clicked on that link and ended up in the CPANforum.com web site, in a page for that specific module: CPAN Forum - HTTP-OAI http://www.cpanforum.com/dist/HTTP-OAI I wrote a post there, as well: Errors installing HTTP::OAI v3.21 http://www.cpanforum.com/posts/10934 I'm also trying to report this error using the "CPAN::Reporter" module, in the hope that it gets listed in the "CPAN Testers reports" page for that HTTP-OAI module: CPAN Testers Reports: Reports for HTTP-OAI http://www.cpantesters.org/distro/H/HTTP-OAI.html ... but I'm having some problems to get it listed there (I wrote a post regarding this to the "CPAN Testers Discuss" mailing list - http://wiki.cpantesters.org/wiki/MailingLists - but it seems that the post has not got through). Well, Erik... at least you now know that you're NOT alone! :) Cheers, Ricardo Dias Marques lists AT ricmarques DOT net Installation Guide for Installing Koha 3 on openSUSE 11 http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=opensuse_11.0
