Thanks for the detailed list, Marco.  I've answered the questions that I
have information for below.

In my httpd.conf file VirtualHost sections for Koha I have:

   ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/koha/ "/usr/local/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/"

Note the 'koha' after cgi-bin in the first parameter.  Did you use the
installer.pl script to install, or did you follow the INSTALL instructions
and install manually?  The INSTALL instructions also specify using
/cgi-bin/koha/ so maybe this was just missed?

You are talking about the full acquisitions system.  There is also a
simple acquisitions system which might be easier for you to use.  The full
acquisitions system was designed for Horowhenua Library Trust and needs
some work to make it more generic.

To use the "simple" acquisitions, go to the Parameters page, select
"systempreferences" and edit or add the "acquisitions" variable, setting
it to "simple".

The installer.pl script uses simple acquisitions by default, so I'm
guessing that you installed manually.  We probably need to make some
changes to the INSTALL document to fix these two problems.

I've opened a bug for this problem.  Will get it fixed today in CVS.
