I have figured out the problem with the help of the awesome people on the IRC Chanel :) Thanks again, Nicole On Tue, Dec 8, 2009 at 9:37 AM, Ata ur Rehman <ata.rehman@gmail.com> wrote:
Dear Nicole / All
I've imported the authority files from the sample (http://lisolutions.org/downloads/index.php?act=view&id=44) and everything looks nice. I've follow the steps:
1- set PERL5LIB variable 2- Imported all.mrc file from Personal Name authority folder 3- Run rebuild_zebra.pl -r -a -b 4- Checked by searching authorities from intranet interface
Note: Snapshots are attached

Ata,
That is awesome - I have downloaded it - but can't seem to import those either - so it's certainly a problem on my system.

Anyone have any tips for finding a collection of authorities I can try to import? Can anyone else import records from LOC?
Thanks Nicole

You all rock and helped me with the content to write an awesome tutorial for others!!
Now - for some reason I keep getting that 0 records are importing. I'm going to the LOC site (authorities.loc.gov) and exporting a record from there - I tried in both MARC formats listed - so now I'm up for suggestions on how to get an authority record or two to import :)

@INC is simply Perl's list of directories that it is looking for Perl modules in.
You need to run the following, or put in your ~/.bashrc:
export PERL5LIB=/home/nengard/kohaclone/
Basically, Koha imports modules from the C4 module. It needs to be told what directory to look for the C4 directory in, however. In a dev install, this is your Git clone; on a standard install, it would be something like /usr/share/koha/lib/.
On my machine, for instance, since my Koha git clone is at /home/jesse/projects/koha, and the C4 directory with Koha's Perl modules is thus at /home/jesse/projects/koha/C4, I do this:
export PERL5LIB=/home/jesse/projects/koha
