Hi, I'd like to know whether ZOOM is required for Koha 2.2.6 or can I still use Net::Z3950? The reason being that ZOOM requires a fairly recent version of YAZ which I'm having problems with on OpenBSD. I posted about this issue sometime back in January I think. Basically any version of YAZ newer than 2.1.8 causes problems with the Koha installer script after it does the perl module check. Any interactive input is automatically entered as blank and this results in the error "Use of uninitialized value in scalar chomp at Install.pm line 637, <STDIN> line 1." which then in turn results in an infinite loop in the kohaadmin password and mysql password prompts because they are blank. The same behaviour used to occur with Net::Z3950 and YAZ > 2.1.8 but at least I can use Net::Z3950 with YAZ 2.1.8. http://lists.katipo.co.nz/public/koha/2006/009583.html I did send off an email to the YAZ list a few days ago but so far no response. During troubleshooting I narrowed the cause of this problem to the following line in the checkperlmodules function of Install.pm: unless (eval {require ZOOM}) { push @missing,"ZOOM" }; If I comment that out then the installation proceeds normally. I then decided to test YAZ using yaz-client. I looked up the documentation and was able to connect to Index Data's test server and test commands such as find and scan. I don't know where to go from here so any help is appreciated. Also while looking at Install.pm in the checkperlmodules section I noticed what appears to be another problem where modules are not actually checked whether they are installed. I don't know perl well but I believe the require statements should be changed to match the modules in the push statement unless (eval {require MARC::File::XML}) { push @missing,"MARC::File::XML" }; unless (eval {require MARC::File::XML}) { push @missing,"LWP::Simple" }; unless (eval {require MARC::File::XML}) { push @missing,"XML::Simple" }; unless (eval {require MARC::File::XML}) { push @missing,"Date::Calc" }; unless (eval {require MARC::File::XML}) { push @missing,"MARC::File::XML" }; Never mind, looks like it was fixed in CVS after the 2.2.6 release. Thanks, Mike D.
