[Koha-devel] Re: [Koha] Install on Debian Etch

[harry wykman]

Thanks Josh for your help.

I am posting to the devel list.  As you know, still having the error below when using standard install.

Hi Harry,

Please post any questions you have to the main koha-devel mailing list, or the
koha user list ... that way other users will have a chance to respond
to the question
and others who may have the same issue will see the solution, etc.

Thanks,

Joshua

Hi Harry,

I'd suggest we move this question to the koha developer's list (CCed).

DBD::mysql most certainly has some unfulfilled dependencies if you install
it from CPAN. I would work from the INSTALL.debian file, rather than the
INSTALL file for your Koha installation, it has specific instructions for how
to prepare the dependencies on Debain Etch -- in short, you need to install
the package maintainers version of DBD::mysql (apt-get install
libdbd-mysql-perl)

The same applies here ... you really need to install the package maintainer's
version of XML::LibXSLT and XML::LibXML, etc. The INSTALL.debian
has some special instructions for this set of modules.

Are you working from the alpha or from a git repo with the latest snapshot?
Which target did you try to install from (standard, single, dev?)
