The cpan issue is our proxy/firewall not related to cpan. My only option is to locate and download the modules by hand. Database.pm is indeed there, however the auto install script is failing as it cant find it, PATH issue? The yaz kit I got was for RH7.2 so I will try this new stuff and see if it solves issues. thanks for the reply regards Steven -----Original Message----- From: Erik Stainsby [mailto:erik.stainsby@modern-alchemy.net] Sent: Thursday, 19 June 2003 3:58 AM To: Jones, Steven Cc: koha@lists.katipo.co.nz Subject: Re: [Koha] RE: perl modules Steven, I have got koha installed and running on RH9, although I had some frustrations gettting it to go. The CPAN issue you are facing is likely related to the terminal being utf-8 capable. The new CPAN config process (first time start up) asks a question about the language encoding that your terminal is capable of. Answer this question wrong and CPAN will not work, translating characters outside the ASCII range incorrectly. (Many CPAN authors have Euro characters in their packages in the author's name.) The correct answer to the config question (paraphrased here from memory): "Is your terminal UTF-8 capable?" is to answer in the affirmative for RH9 (and it seems the script is case-sensitive here as well). Further, CPAN helpfully advises you to upgrade the Bundle::CPAN. DON'T DO IT! ExtUtils::Makemaker will corrupt, rendering the CPAN tool useless. CPAN 1.6.1 is fine. Also of note, the Yaz z39.50 toolkit has a different set of installer files for RH9. There are four rpm files required, plus an optional src file. Get at least the four non-src rpms from: http://ftp.indexdata.dk/pub/yaz/RedHat9.X/ These must be installed before the Net::Z39.50 package can be built. Database.pm is a Koha package, part of the install. It will be located in the <koha>/C4 directory.

template was missing, i got that installed, I have a PAN.pm I cant locate, Database.pm I have in a Mysql cluster from CPAN but wont compile as another perl module wont link to / register with perl.

Net::Z3950 seems optional, it failed for some reason so I left it.

Has anyone got koha going on rh9?
