Knowing what operating system you are running, the version of Koha you are
trying to install, and how you installed (manual or using packages) may
help with fixing your problem.

If you are running Debian 6, the latest version of Koha (3.8.2), and are
doing a manual install, then the installation instructions are in the file
INSTALL.debian. At 2.2 it says:

You must be sure you're using the XML::LibXML SAX parser, not Expat or
PurePerl, both of which have outstanding bugs with pre-composed characters.
You can test your SAX parser by running:

    $ cd koha
    $ misc/sax_parser_print.pl

You should see something like:

    XML::LibXML::SAX::Parser=HASH(0x81fe220)

If you are configured to use PurePerl or Expat, the script will say
you have a problem and
you'll need to edit your ini file to correct it.

The file is typically located at:

    /etc/perl/XML/SAX/ParserDetails.ini

The correct parser entry will need to be moved to the bottom of the file.
The following is the entry you are looking for:

    [XML::LibXML::SAX::Parser]
	http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces = 1

To fix your problem you need to find the ParserDetails.ini and edit it as
indicated.

To find the file on Debian and Ubuntu go 'updatedb' (updates file index
database) then go 'locate ParserDetails.ini' (enter the commands without
the 's).

You can also use the search box on the front page of koha-community.org to
search for 'could not find ParserDetails.ini in
/usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1/XML/SAX' and see if you can find anything that
better matches your environment.
