Z3950 Queries Failing.....
Hello, the CS department at my University is trying to set up a library system to catalogue our books, and have had problems getting the z3950 client to get book information from the library of congress. We're using koha version 1.2.3 on a Gentoo Linux machine running MySQL Ver 12.22 Distrib 4.0.16. The errors we recieve are as the following: DBD::mysql::st execute failed: MySQL server has gone away at ./processz3950queue line 276, <KC> line 22. Also getting error "Cannot call method 'option' on undefined value" on a line near 169, but that error has stopped after a few changes we've made. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Are you sure you want to be running version 1.2.3? Z39.50 searches on the Library of Congress are designed to return MARC records, and that version of Koha does not support MARC. I'd suggest trying the latest release of version 2.0.0, which has seen quite a lot of improvement in the z3950 code in the last few weeks. -- Stephen Hedges Skemotah Solutions, USA www.skemotah.com -- shedges@skemotah.com
