I'm from Benin at Songhai Center library. Currently we installed Koha 3.00.02.012 on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS.

I was successful using the manuals for installation. But when the librarians are adding or editing an item in to the database, it will show us:

"Koha error

The following fatal error has occurred:

Can't call method "append_fields" on an undefined value at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/MARC/File/SAX.pm line 92.

By your description, it seems to be that you were hit by the following bug: Bug 3520 - crash when adding or editing item record http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3520 The good news is that this bug has been fixed in Koha 3.0.4 that was released yesterday! :) You can check this by reading the Release Notes for Koha 3.0.4, that are available at: http://git.koha.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=Koha;a=blob;f=misc/release_notes/re... In that "Release Notes" page, in the section "Exhaustive list of bugs fixed follows" you'll find, among many other bug fixes, the following line: "3520 fix crash when adding or editing items". So, my advice would be for you to update your installation to Koha 3.0.4, and see if that solves your problem. I hope that helps.
