Subject: [Koha-oz] PLS help on the error ZEBRA_MARC_FORMAT - can't find
 command on the line 26
Message-ID: <CAMR4wqw6xP4PTLGqaesmBkyYAX1H2O+S7Fs+QTb6019e4aKb3w@mail.gmail.com>

Dear everyone on the Koha-oz mailing list,

Hi there, my name is Toshi, and I am a Japanese who has been living in New
Zealand now nearly 12 years with my Kiwi wife (we met and married in
Japan), and I am trying to set-up Koha ILS into the sole
Japanese-book-library here in Auckland, which only use very analogue A4
note books to administer in-and-out library owned book records.

The thing is I encountered an error on my installation attempt of Koha ILS
based on this instruction -
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_ubuntu_-_packages - Koha on
Ubuntu <https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_ubuntu_-_packages>,
the line on this instruction website is at "Apache modules" - when I try to
create our library using command "sudo koha-create -- create-db
nihongokodomo" error appears saying that it can't find command
zebra-MARC_FORMAT, and I am stuck here sadly.

My system and procedures are as below.

OS: Ubuntu Server - with Desktop 16.04 LTS
Process: all on track of the above installation website link- MariaDB was
installed ok instead of MySQL, and the installed Koha Common is 17.05.06-1.

I try to know more about ZEBRA but so far I have had no luck.

I thought this process relating to MARC is important as I once managed to
start-up Koha and I used it on my preferred web browser Firefox but when I
tried to set-up our own library, I came across an issue around MARC21
information did not appear at all in the catalogue creating process, and I
couldn't add any library books.

Therefore, please please someone give me some help!!! I was hoping to set
this up before Christmas holiday so they can start putting their books into
the library system so the "new" library can open in 2018!

Cheers,
Toshi Sekizaki

the 2017 Library Automation Perceptions survey

To all libraries using Koha:

I'm collecting data for the 2017 International Library Automation Perceptions survey.

This survey, now in its eleventh annual iteration, provides an opportunity for libraries to register their perceptions of the strategic automation products they use, organizations that provide these products, and the quality of support delivered. The survey also probes at considerations for migrating to new systems and the level of interest in open source products.

As open source software supported both by the general community and by a variety of different service firms, some special considerations apply to Koha.  In the libraries.org directory, Koha is represented by a combination of the name Koha and the primary support organization involved.  (For example Koha - Catalyst IT, Koha -- ByWater Solutions).  Libraries relying entirely on community support or internal resources are represented as Koha - Independent.  If there are any special support arrangements not covered by these conventions, just mention that in the comments area of the survey.  In this way the survey will be able to reflect both the functionality of the Koha software and the quality of support provided.  This model of representing libraries using Koha isn't ideal, but is a pragmatic approach that aggregates all users of Koha while also segregating the different support scenarios.

While the numeric rating scales support the statistical results of the study, it's the comments offered that provide the most insight into the current state of library automation satisfaction.  Comments will be published in the survey results, redacted to conceal text that might identify the individual or organization responding.  The raw data for the survey will not be shared, but reports are available that provide a variety of ways to view results.

Please help your fellow librarians who might be in the process of evaluating library automation options by responding to the survey. Any information regarding vendor performance and product quality can be helpful when making strategic decisions regarding automation alternatives. A large number of responses strengthen the impact of the survey and the subsequent report.

If you have responded in previous years, please respond again this year to help identify any trends regarding improvement or worsening of the products or support services.

For more information about the survey, for instructions on how to participate, and to see results of previous year's survey reports, see:
http://librarytechnology.org/web/breeding/AutomationSurvey/

I hope that all libraries using Koha will respond.  Feel free to forward this request to any other library-related list.

Please let me know if there are any questions regarding the survey.

Hi Toshi,
Welcome to the Koha community.

I'm not familiar with Ubuntu installs. I have not seen that error on any 
Debian installs.

Koha supports MARC21, UNIMARC and NORMARC. In New Zealand, as in 
Australia, you use MARC21. During your installation, did you pass any 
step that prompted you to select the MARC flavour?

Otherwise, you might be better to post your question to the Koha general 
mailing list <https://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha>, where 
there are plenty of Ubuntu users.

I hope this helps,
Bob Birchall
