The issue with the bug in Unicode::UCD has been solved. I first tried the workaround (installing perl-doc where UnicodeData.txt was erroneously packaged instead of with perl itself) but this didn't work as perl-doc has very recently been 'fixed' so that UnicodeData.txt is back in the main perl package. Installing perl-doc now doesn't install UnicodeData.txt. The solution was to update perl itself which now, correctly, has UnicodeData.txt included. Clint.

Hi again,

Koha 3.4.3 on Opensuse 11.4.

the suggested solutions to my recent SMS::Send and Date::ICal issue with the web installer did not work. I continued to receive the error.

I suspect the cause is elsewhere in my install. My lack of skill restricts my trouble shooting ability. Earlier, I had trouble installing Unicode::UCD or rather finding UnicodeData.txt and in my efforts to rectify this I think I introduced more problems by (blindly) installing a newer version of perl. so I did a reinstall of opensuse 11.4 and started again.

This is where I think I went wrong.

Make test failed with this error;

# Failed test 'use C4::Barcodes::PrinterConfig;' # at t/00-load.t line 32. # Tried to use 'C4::Barcodes::PrinterConfig'. # Error: Unicode::UCD: failed to find UnicodeData.txt in /home/clint/koha-3.04.03/blib/PERL_MODULE_DIR /home/clint/koha-3.04.03/blib/arch /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.12.3/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.12.3 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.3/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.3 /usr/lib/perl5/5.12.3/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.12.3 . at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.3/PDF/API2/Resource/Font/BdFont.pm line 45

Apparently there is a bug in Unicode::UCD where UnicodeData.txt is not installed with Unicode::UCD but with perl-doc. I installed perl-doc with yast but error remains. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=678877

the bug has been fixed but to get the new version in Cpan I get this

cpan[1]> install Unicode::UCD Reading '/root/.cpan/Metadata' Database was generated on Thu, 18 Aug 2011 14:31:11 GMT Running install for module 'Unicode::UCD' The most recent version "0.30" of the module "Unicode::UCD" is part of the perl-5.13.9 distribution. To install that, you need to run force install Unicode::UCD --or-- install J/JE/JESSE/perl-5.13.9.tar.gz Running make test Can't test without successful make Running make install Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible Failed during this command: JESSE/perl-5.13.9.tar.gz : make NO isa perl

Last time I tried "force install Unicode::UCD" and was asked like fifty questions, most I didn't understand. It did seem to solve this problem but it appeared I ended up with two installs of perl that then caused problems. I am way out of my depth.

Installing Koha on opensuse 11.4 is proving to be quite a mission.

What now?

Thank you, Clint.
