[Koha] Koha 3.0.6 (Community Ed.) on FreeBSD

[Jared Camins-Esakov]

Joel,

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: 
http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_FreeBSD

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.

I ultimately decided to switch to Debian because of the awesome Debian 
packages that larsw and robin put together.

Regards,
Jared Camins-Esakov
