[Koha-devel] Koha-devel Digest, Vol 49, Issue 42

[Sunita Barve]

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.
