[Koha] using self checkout

Tue May 19 04:19:36 NZST 2009

I am experiencing the same problem. I made the change you suggested to line
30 of sco-main.pl. The checkout page now appears correctly and accepts a
patron code. Now when I click on "submit" after entering the book barcode, I
get the following error: 

"Can't use an undefined value as a HASH reference at
/usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Circulation.pm line 975."

I am running Koha 3.00.01 (downloaded from the site on 9 May 2009) so I
think it is the latest version.

Running 
Perl 5.10.0
Linux ubuntu 2.6.27-14-generic
mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.67, for debian-linux-gnu (i486) using readline
5.2
Apache/2.2.9

Any suggestions? Did you find a solution to your problem?
