OK, that's good.

Great catch! It's interesting that I have reviewed my installation log
(I have putty logging every printable output to a text file) and it
*seemed* that when I installed the libyaz package, it was also
installing yaz itself). However, prompted by your info, I typed the
following command:

____________________

# rpm -qi yaz
____________________


And, sure enough, I got the following output:
____________________

package yaz is not installed
____________________


So, I have now installed yaz with the yast command:
____________________

# yast -i yaz
____________________


... and all seems to be well now!  :)

You're absolutely right. It's funny that I did not get the same error
that you did (" Failed test 'connection to non-existent host
'no.such.host' fails' ") when installing the Net::Z3950::ZOOM Perl
Module. It's possible, as you said, that this was due to a version
difference in this ZOOM module (from 1.21 - the one I got when
installing it from CPAN - to 1.24 - the one you got).

I have already updated the information in wiki to add this step to
install yaz. Naturally, I credited you for the find:

Installation Guide for Installing Koha 3 on openSUSE 11 [Koha Developer Wiki]
http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=opensuse_11.0


I will also update the INSTALL.opensuse Koha file in "git" (the source
control system that Koha uses) to also have this information.

You're welcome. Thank you very much for having reported back with this
information and I apologize for the missing step in my Tutorial /
HOWTO.
