Having thrown out my first attempt, I then tried again using installer.pl, which was much more successful, and I didn't encounter any major difficulties. (By the way, I'm installing onto a Debian system.)
For debian, all except Net::Z3950 and MARC::Record are in packages, I think.
I did however encounter problems finding the documentation. Having unpacked koha-2.0.0pre4.tar.gz, I found the "docs" directory was empty.
I am told that the docs are in CVS. Maybe someone knows why they didn't get into pre4?
DBD::mysql::st execute failed: Column 'z3950random' cannot be null at /home/koha/intranet/modules/C4/Breeding.pm line 115, <fh00001stevens> line 26.
I am aware of this bug and the other one. I guess you use MARC21? I will squash this and possibly the misreported result in the next 48 hours.
prompted me to realise that I needed the processz3950queue daemon running. That didn't seem to have been configured properly by the install script,
I need someone to explain the purpose and configuration of this daemon to me before I can update the installer to handle it. I am also interested in debugging z3950 searches, but I can't without that info.
I was able to manually catalogue a book using addbiblio.pl, but since I'm not a librarian, I probably got the MARC quite wrong. Still, I was able to successfully search for the book by author, so it seems my Koha installation is at least a little bit functional.
If you are using MARC21, it seems that you have to go into Parameters -> MARC tag structure -> subfields -> Open and change a lot of the "tab numbers" for MARC tags from -1 to something between 0 and 9.
wait until the proper 2.0.0 release to try again. I hope that there might be something useful in what I've provided above to help improve Koha.
Do you mind if I contact you directly when I think a particular 2.0 prerelease addresses your problems? -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and possibly not of any group I know. http://mjr.towers.org.uk/ gopher://g.towers.org.uk/ slef@jabber.at Creative copyleft computing services via http://www.ttllp.co.uk/
