Following your advice, Ive installed Perl's extended module libraries. But as for the must add libmysqlclient-dev there seems to be two options. Here is what I get: ================================= mydeb:~# apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Package libmysqlclient-dev is a virtual package provided by: libmysqlclient12-dev 4.0.22-6 libmysqlclient10-dev 3.23.56-2 You should explicitly select one to install. E: Package libmysqlclient-dev has no installation candidate mydeb:~# ================================= I assume that it depends on the MySQL version: libmysqlclient12-dev --> for MySQL 4.0.22-6 libmysqlclient10-dev --> for MySQL 3.23.56-2 Oren Maurer --- Gerry Arthus <garthus@lilrc.org> wrote:
If this can be added to the documentation it may save some work, I have decided to use Debian for My Koha ionstallation, to many problems with redhaT.

Installing Koha 2.0RC4 On Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 "stable" (woody)
Joshua Ferraro
Several of Perl's extended module libraries are available via the Debian packaging system. We can install those using the *apt-get* utility as follows:
koha:/# apt-get install libdbi-perl koha:/# apt-get install libdbd-mysql-perl koha:/# apt-get install libdate-manip-perl koha:/# apt-get install libhtml-template-perl koha:/# apt-get install libmail-sendmail-perl
/Must add/
/ koha:/# apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev/
/ Without the development libraries there is a problem installing the NET::LDAP module, it cannot find the mysql_config file/
Now of course the real question is how to install Debian for the inexperienced. Since I have given up on the Redhat kernal and decided to go full open source with Debian I noticed that one can install Knoppix running from the CDROM and then do a harddrive install which give three choices one of which is Debian installation, this solves the configuration problems often associated with drivers and installing Debian the usual way. I will refine this document with my installation experiences and see about posting at the docs site.
