and besides that, Koha runs flawlessly for of us on 64 bit servers, runnning on Ubuntu LTS distro (12.04 and 10.04).
People just told you how to circumvent those issues.
Thanks for the reply -- I'm convinced that everyone is working towards the same goal. But, despite never having had this problem on 3.6.1, 4, 6, 7, I just can't get beyond it on 3.8.3 and 4. It *must* be my mistake (maybe a totally dumb one), but after four installs I'm back to a non-functional zebra. Coming back to my original issue -- 3.8.4 (after another full install) is showing the same error as 3.8.3 -- idzebra-2.0 is fully [??? an 'apt-get idzebra-2.0' comes up with "latest version" and no missing dependencies ???] installed but there's no daemon! So I must have missed something in the repositories/dependences. paul@server:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/koha-zebra-daemon start Starting Zebra Server /etc/init.d/koha-zebra-daemon: line 73: daemon: command not found I am now convinced that somehow, somewhere, zebra is *NOT* properly installed. So before I go any further and screw something up, here's where I'm at as far as Zebra is concerned: /etc/init.d/koha-zebra-daemon has the proper symlink: paul@server:/etc/init.d$ ls -l | grep koha lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Aug 22 19:11 koha-zebra-daemon -> /usr/share/koha/bin/koha-zebra-ctl.sh and that is the file that has the line 73 that causes the error: daemon --name=$NAME --errlog=$ERRLOG --stdout=$STDOUT --output=$OUTPUT --verbose=1 --respawn --delay=30 $OTHERUSER -- $ZEBRASRV $ZEBRAOPTIONS -f $KOHA_CONF koha-conf.xml has the user as 'koha' with the correct password, and the output belongs to 'koha': paul@server:/var/lock/koha/zebradb$ ls -l total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 koha koha 40 Aug 22 19:48 authorities drwxr-xr-x 2 koha koha 40 Aug 22 19:48 biblios I guess that I can get back to things tomorrow and try manually installing: idzebra-2.0-common idzebra-2.0-doc idzebra-2.0-utils libidzebra-2.0-0 libidzebra-2.0-dev libidzebra-2.0-mod-alvis libidzebra-2.0-mod-grs-marc libidzebra-2.0-mod-grs-regx libidzebra-2.0-mod-grs-xml libidzebra-2.0-mod-text libidzebra-2.0-modules but I would have thought that idzebra-2.0 contained all the necessary dependences, or would have reported anything missing.
