Marty, I found that it was easier to install webmin on your server, It can be used for various other functions in maintaining the Server; it also has an good PERL module installer which checks for and installs all other module dependencies. Gerry Jongepier wrote:

That worked wonderful, also with Net::Z3950 version 0.51 What would I have done without you!?

Thanks again,

Marty

Subject: Re: [Koha] Net::Z3950 make error...

Hmm it sounds like y'all are talking about two different things. you are talking about net::z3950, he's talking about net::z3950::zoom. you probably could use zoom, I don't know. But the install document says Net::z3950 so thats what I went with. Your error and set up sounds a lot like one I experienced, so I will tell you in (hopefully specific) steps what I did to make it work. First, I went to the a website (I didn't write down which one, eek. So, lets say I found it on cpan somewhere) and downloaded the net::z3950 module as an archive(tar.gz). I used version 0.50. Then I unpacked it. Then I opened Makefile.PL using a text editor. I don't remember which one. (They always say you should use vi editor, but its so tricky. I never know if its saved or not.) Anyways I commented out the last three lines, like this:

sub MY::postamble { '$(MYEXTLIB): yazwrap/Makefile cd yazwrap && $(MAKE) INC=$(PASTHRU_INC) $(PASTHRU)'; }

#sub MY::post_constants { # 'PASTHRU_INC=$(INC)' #}

Then saved it (if using vi, make sure you press esc and :wq, not :q as I am prone to do :) Then I double checked it, to make sure it saved, and then I was able to install it using

perl Makefile.PL make make install

and lo and behold I got my z3950 to work. I don't know if that will work for you, especially since I don't understand why I got that error in the first place. But, I figure it can't hurt to try. Good luck and let me know if it works. -Heidi
