I have struggled a lot to see whether Koha works successfully on Ubuntu 9.10 distro. But surprisingly it does not gets installed successfully on every machine and here is the observation. 1. When basic installation of Ubuntu is done it has libmysqlclient16 file already installed. 2. In Ubuntu.packages lists of koha istallation it asks to install libmysqlclient15-dev through dselect. So the question is which version of libmysqlclient is necessary on Ubuntu 9.10 for KOHA libmysqlclient15-dev libmysqlclient15off libmysqlclient16 libmysqlclient16-dev libmysqlclient-dev Another question is when mysql-server is installed it installs libdbd-mysql-perl, libdbi-perl hence while running dselect there is package name called libdbd-mysql-perl listed again and then it will install latest libdbd-mysql-perl package so libdbd-mysql-perl package gets installed twice. I have tried doing all combinations of checking one of the libmysqlclient version files and trying koha installation on Ubuntu 9.10 but the installation is unsuccessful with the following error Koha error The following fatal error has occurred: DBD driver has not implemented the AutoCommit attribute at /usr/lib/perl5/DBI.pm line 705. Compilation failed in require at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Auth.pm line 30. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Auth.pm line 30. Compilation failed in require at /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/mainpage.pl line 23. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/mainpage.pl line 23. This error was coming on Debian installation as well but it disappeared when we installed libdbd-mysql-perl only once that is only while installing mysql-server and I thought it should not repeat in Ubuntu but I have tried all combinations but Ubuntu installation is not successful. Can anyone on the list tell me the problem with above error and on which perl module this error is dependent on. reg, Sunita Barve NCRA, Pune On Wed, Dec 30, 2009 at 4:30 PM, <koha-devel-request@lists.koha.org> wrote:

Debian has consistently performed well for Koha installs for me. Ubuntu, being Debian based, is OK also but some run into issues.
I personally like CentOS for a great number of things (VMware Server 2.0), LTSP, FileServer, however would not recommend installation of Koha on CentOS or Fedora, although I am sure it is possible.
It would be interesting to hear of successful installations of Koha in other versions of Linux. Distros like Puppy and DSL are likely not going to work without rewriting some things. FreeBSD would be an interesting Koha installation.

I installed Koha on an Asus EEE 900 (half-a-gig of RAM, 4 GB SSHD) running Easy Peasy, mostly just to see if I could. Easy Peasy is Ubuntu, put on an *extreme* diet for EEE Netbooks.
The install ran very much like a normal Debian/Ubuntu install, and Koha *worked*, though it was--unsurprisingly--painfully slow. For lots of obvious reasons, I don't recommend this sort of setup, even as a development environment.
But it *was* fun!
