Hi Marty, I recently did an install using the packages and found it easier to get through then using the tarball. You will find the instructions here: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_3.8_on_Debian_Squeeze . If you do the "oldstable" release you will get the 3.08.07 version. If you do "stable" you get the 3.10.0 version which has a bug in it that breaks the OPAC http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9052 . It is easy to fix if you want to get on the latest. Take a look. If you have Debian, Apache, and MySQL already done then a package setup might be the ticket.

Luckily we made backups. Now I am on a new machine, doing a new installatiion but I am running into things I have never seen. Running Debian 6 on dual booted Lenovo box First of all, perl koha_perl_deps.pl -m -u keeps saying that modules are not installed, even if they are the requested version or later and there are five that will not install without force. so I used force, but it still will insist the modules are not installed; DateTime 0 * 0.58 Yes v0.78 DateTime::Event::ICal 0 * 0.08 Yes v0.11 (won't install without force) DateTime::Format::DateParse 0 * 0.04 Yes v0.05 DateTime::Format::ICal 0 * 0.09 Yes v0.09 DateTime::Set 0 * 0.28 Yes v0.31 (won't install without force) DateTime::TimeZone 0 * 1.26 Yes v1.56 Test::Strict 0 * 0.14 No v0.14 (won't install without force) Test::YAML::Valid 0 * 0.04 No v0.04 (won't install without force) XML::RSS 0 * 1.31 Yes v1.49 (won't install without force) Then, when I try to run perl makefile.PL I cannot even do that, this is what i get; :~/koha-3.08.07$ perl Makefile.PL Can't locate Class/Load.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /home/ccclibrary/koha-3.08.07 /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1/DateTime/TimeZone/Local.pm line 9.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Makefile.PL line 31. I am starting to wonder how I ever got previous versions running... Any ideas are most welcome!
