I successfully installed a Koha 3.2 beta on FreeBSD, but I can't say
I'd recommend it. It was a bit of a struggle getting it set up. You can
see the instructions I wrote (which seem to work) on the wiki here:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_FreeBSD">http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_FreeBSD</a><br>
<br>
The text document you copied in looks like the output from the Koha
installer rather than error messages from CPAN, incidentally. A lot of
those can be installed by running cpan, as chris_n describes, but you
will need to install some from FreeBSD ports. All of this should be
covered in the link I provided above. There will still be a few error
messages at the end, but they are non-fatal.<br>
<br>
I ultimately decided to switch to Debian because of the awesome Debian
packages that larsw and robin put together.<br>

All,<br>
<br>
We are currently attempting to install Koha 3.0.6 (Community edition)
on a Development server. <br>
<br>
Our Library's Systems Support & Development Officer is currently
trying to install Koha 3.0.6 on a Development Server which is running
the FreeBSD v7.2 Operating System, and has come across a slight problem
with CPAN.<br>
<br>
At present, the install is unable to proceed because CPAN is unable to
find the pre-requisite files. See attached document
[Pasted_Data_467e.txt]. Is there away to set CPAN to be able to
automatically download and install these files during the process of
installing Koha, so that each file and its dependencies don't have to
be downloaded and installed separately from the CPAN website?<br>
<br>
Also, on a final note, is there any library's out there which have Koha
3.0.6 installed on a server running the FreeBSD Operating System? If
so, I would greatly appreciate hearing from you about any problems your
library may have had during the process of installing Koha.<br>
<br>
Many thanks in anticipation!<br>
<br>
Kindest Regards,<br>
Joel<br>
