I am running Debian ETCH.

I have followed the install instructions as well as installing requisite items using CPAN. I cannot, however, install the last couple. Having run 'perl Makefile.PL', at the end I get:

[Mon Feb 18 21:43:35 2008] Makefile.PL: Warning: prerequisite DBD::mysql 4.004 not found. We have 3.0008. [Mon Feb 18 21:44:05 2008] Makefile.PL: Warning: prerequisite XML::LibXSLT 1.59 not found. Writing Makefile for koha

In attempting to install these in CPAN I get the following errors:

cpan> install DBD::mysql Running install for module DBD::mysql Running make for C/CA/CAPTTOFU/DBD-mysql-4.006.tar.gz Is already unwrapped into directory /root/.cpan/build/DBD-mysql-4.006 Makefile.PL returned status 512 Running make test Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't test Running make install Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't install DBD::mysql most certainly has some unfulfilled dependencies if you install it from CPAN. I would work from the INSTALL.debian file, rather than the INSTALL file for your Koha installation, it has specific instructions for how to prepare the dependencies on Debain Etch -- in short, you need to install

Hi Harry, I'd suggest we move this question to the koha developer's list (CCed). Comments below: On 2/20/08, harry wykman <harrybw@iinet.net.au> wrote: the package maintainers version of DBD::mysql (apt-get install libdbd-mysql-perl)

AND

make: *** [blib/arch/auto/XML/LibXSLT/LibXSLT.so] Error 1 /usr/bin/make -- NOT OK Running make test Can't test without successful make Running make install make had returned bad status, install seems impossible The same applies here ... you really need to install the package maintainer's version of XML::LibXSLT and XML::LibXML, etc. The INSTALL.debian has some special instructions for this set of modules.

Then when I run 'make install' I get:

biblio:/home/harry/Desktop/koha-3.00.00-alpha# make install /usr/bin/perl "-Iblib/arch" "-Iblib/lib" fix-perl-path.PL blib chown: `koha:koha': invalid user make: *** [set_koha_ownership] Error 1 Are you working from the alpha or from a git repo with the latest snapshot? Which target did you try to install from (standard, single, dev?)
