Greetings, Paul, Just some final details. Because I think there was some instructional misunderstandings... --- SNIP --- $ sudo apt-get install libyaz4 PLUS libyaz4-dev libnet-z3950-zoom-perl libxml-libxslt-perl libgraphics-magick-perl liblingua-stem-snowball-perl libtemplate-perl libtemplate-plugin-htmltotext-perl liblingua-ispell-perl libhtml-template-pro-perl libreadonly-xs-perl libtest-strict-perl --- SNIP --- The point was all the libraries you needed are there. I probably typed this in a command line earlier and forgot to include it. I did note that I had some apt-file searches for which I didn’t put a sudo apt-get install command line done. Sorry about that. --- SNIP --- $ sudo dpkg --set-selections < install_misc/ubuntu.packages $ sudo dselect --- SNIP --- Did you grab the ubuntu.packages from 3.6.7 or 3.6.8? That is the correct one. That's why I was noting my patch didn't make it into 3.8.X. I hope to solve this before 3.8.5 comes out. --- SNIP --- FYI, getting Robin's pgp required a couple of steps that you did not mention. Using: $ wget http://debian.koha-community.org/koha/gpg.asc | sudo apt-key add - gives the error "GPG error: http://archive.ubuntu.com dapper Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 14D36485A99CEB6D" --- SNIP --- That isn’t what I said to type: wget -O- http://debian.koha-community.org/koha/gpg.asc | sudo apt-key add - and that isn’t what is on the wiki: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_3.8_on_Debian_Squeeze (under the Everyone title)
Which way should you do? Are you going to develop, submit patches, etc for a non-production system? If yes, then (3) GIT! Are you using a debian-based OS? If yes, then (1) Packages! For everything else, there is (2) Tarball.
--- SNIP --- While I'd love to have time to "submit patches", I juts seem to spend too much time maintaining a production system. I do not use a pure Debian system, but Ubuntu for all our servers and workstations. Hence your "For everything else, there is tarball." --- SNIP --- I didn’t say Debian, I said debian-based, which includes Ubuntu. I know the packages work, because I have done a packages install, just to understand the three ways of installing. In fact, I think it only installed 3 things from the debian.koha-community.org repository while doing it too. I was pleased by such a low number. Anyways, I’m glad these tips helped point you in the right direction. GPML, Mark Tompsett
