Actually, /usr/share/koha. The koha4 directories are a leftover liblime install 
that was abandoned when we moved to the community distro. Should probably purge it.

# ls /usr/share/koha
bin  doc  intranet  lib  man  misc  opac

# ls /usr/share/koha/lib
C4

So that looks right, I think.

Nope, just:

# ps aux|grep zebra
root  16132  0.0  0.1  3292  508  pts/0  R+  22:10  0:00  grep  zebra

Does this suggest that zebra hasn't been started? How to?


Thanks again for the effort,
