Pete,
while it's good to hear that this won't be stopping you, I hope that we'll
soon have a telnet version of circ for those that would prefer it.

This is less happy news.  I'm sure that between us, we'll get it nailed
though.  THanks for sticking with us.

'Premature end of script headers' typically means that the script failed
to run properly.  In fact, as you follow along the trail, you'll see that
this is exactly what happens:

this bit says (roughly)  the loadmodules.pl script failed to run
correctly.

It couldn't get access to the Koha database on the local system using the
kohaadmin at localhost user and no password (line 41 of the Database.pm
module used by the script).

It also couldn't 'prepare' a non-existant thing (this should be the
database connection -- called a handle) at line 62 of Search.pm called by
the script.


Judging from these, I wonder if a) you have the database set up, or b)
have the proper password in the configuration file.
