The installation of the (now required?) ZOOM module for Koha/2.2.8 fails many tests since the following connection fails:
# Failed test 'connection to 'test.indexdata.com:2118' refused (10007)'
I don't suppose the tests could be given a proxy to use?
Anyway, that is not my problem. I am attempting to simply FORCE the install as follows:
Failed 16/22 test scripts, 27.27% okay. 399/712 subtests failed, 43.96% okay. 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 invoked the install as follows:
perl -MCPAN -e 'force install ZOOM'
Now I am stumped. Why isn't CPAN ignoring the test errors and finishing off the install? That's a good question. One approach is to just install the module directly. You can download the tar.gz file, unpack it (tar -xzvf filename.tgz), then run perl Makefile.pl, and finally make, make install.
Also, with 2.2.8 we do not want the Barcode functionality. How can we avoid the following brick wall at the start of the install?
perl -MCPAN -e 'install "ZOOM"'
perl -MCPAN -e 'install "You will need PDF::API2 for barcode generator"'
perl -MCPAN -e 'install "You will need GD::Barcode for the new barcode generator"'
perl -MCPAN -e 'install "You will need Data::Random for the new barcode generator"'
perl -MCPAN -e 'install "You will need PDF::Reuse::Barcode for the new barcode generator"'
perl -MCPAN -e 'install "You will need Net::LDAP if you want to authentify patrons through a LDAP"'
I don't think we even need ZOOM! ZOOM is required for Z39.50 support, so any process in Koha that uses that will fail without that module installed. I think the rest of them are just warnings, they probably won't prevent you from installing.
