Time Nick Message
11:59 paul bye bye everybody, see you on thursday
11:56 kados thd: :-)
11:56 thd kados: well later this evening or tomorrow would be good
11:56 kados thd: maybe later this evening or tomorrow
11:56 kados thd: I will probably not have time to work on facets today
11:54 kados heh
11:54 thd the title does not do justice to the content
11:53 thd owen, kados: see Norgad et. al. The Online catalog : from technical services to access service. In Advances in librarianship. v. 17.
11:52 tumer but my pistol is aching today
11:52 tumer yep
11:52 paul (if you know this cartoon)
11:52 paul tumer is faster than lucky luke
11:51 tumer i already added a batch commit sysypref
11:51 kados :-)
11:51 paul so I was right when I heard the systempref crying, 5mn ago ;-)
11:51 kados and for libraries where accuracy is more important than speed
11:51 kados yep
11:51 paul (or for large ones, with a few circ)
11:51 kados right
11:50 paul I agree, because for small libraries it won't be a problem
11:50 kados because code already exists to commit with every operation
11:50 kados IMO
11:50 kados but it should be a syspref
11:50 paul sounds like an accepatble plan to me.
11:50 kados right ... one possible solution
11:50 paul so, no more commit in koha, but in crontab.
11:50 kados paul: you beat me :-)
11:49 kados one idea I had was to do a batch 'commit' operation once every 5 minutes or so
11:49 paul by doing a commit only once every 10mn with shadow DB, iirc
11:49 kados so the next question is: how can we speed up saving records to zebra?
11:49 kados and several clients want this feature
11:49 kados if we want to search by availability, we must store in zebra
11:48 paul ah, ok.
11:48 kados paul: sorry, issues
11:48 paul in 2.2, it's just in issues & calculated on the fly
11:48 kados tumer: waiting to see if what is windows issue only?
11:48 paul store in items or issues table ?
11:48 tumer waiting to see if it is windows issue only
11:47 kados so two operations with each circ, rather than just one
11:47 kados * store in zebra
11:47 tumer that is another matter i am investigating
11:47 kados * store in items table
11:47 kados plus in dev week, we do:
11:47 kados it might be
11:47 paul s/seems/seemed/
11:47 paul but it seems updating biblio + item for each issue/return is too much CPU consumming isn't it ?
11:46 tumer we already do that
11:46 tumer paul:no
11:46 paul the next question being : does it mean we forget storing the issues informations in zebra too ?
11:46 tumer i am reverting back to dev_week
11:45 kados tumer: I think two queries is too many :(
11:45 kados tumer: even if we stored them in the same db with different indexing rules
11:45 tumer so no more holdings records
11:44 kados tumer: I can imagine :(
11:44 tumer kados:i am in pain with mikes answer
11:43 tumer hi all
11:39 thd owen: I suspect that kados will not go so far as adding the facility to browse for other terms to use in the same facet but I will in future
11:38 thd owen: I think that such subject elements from the same facet should be grouped together in the same facet for extending the search
11:36 thd owen: I think that the search should be faceted by place topic time and form
11:36 owen Okay.
11:36 kados owen: so one thing we need to do is sync default and npl templates
11:35 kados owen: paul has just fixed addbiblio in rel_2_2
11:35 thd owen: I think the progressive hierarchy of subject subdivisions implied by the Queens library search is mistaken
11:34 thd owen: I would agree that it is not intuitive
11:34 owen What do you mean thd?
11:33 thd owen: what is too complex about a search that is too simplistic?
11:27 owen kados: How can I best be of help?
11:24 owen I think the Queens Library search is way too complex
11:21 kados owen: we could easily do that
11:21 kados owen: ahh, very nice, I see it now
11:21 kados owen: I also like the sutle use of color for checked out vs available
11:21 owen We found 2 matching items. "
11:21 owen "Search 'something': Early works to 1800 [remove] : England [remove] : Doctrines [remove]
11:21 owen Above the search results:
11:21 thd kados: LCSH are a mess but a reasonably precise mess.
11:20 kados owen: where is that?
11:20 thd kados: FAST is subject soup.
11:19 thd kados: when everything is top level you have no way to associate which strings belong together.
11:19 kados owen: and I think they use FAST for display, or a subset of it
11:19 owen I also like the way NCSU handles the narrowing process: you can delete the additional search terms by clicking an X in the results screen
11:19 kados owen: the js was just for fast prototyping
11:19 kados owen: yep, we could do it that way
11:18 thd kados: the problem with FAST is that all subject strings are very short so there is no way to specify the two narrow questions that a work may treat
11:18 owen I like that the NCSU sidebar: is a simple list; has limited results for each facet; has a 'show more' link
11:17 kados thd: that description fits NPL :-)
11:16 thd kados: FAST is a system for how records might be subject coded when none of the cataloguers know how to subject code any longer
11:16 kados owen: so both :-)
11:16 kados owen: for the Intranet, I think staff will want narrowing
11:16 kados owen: well, I think for the OPAC, expanding is probably the goal
11:16 kados thd: good point
11:15 thd kados: FAST does nothing for legacy records
11:15 thd kados: what I am hoping we would do is change
11:15 kados owen: good question
11:15 kados thd: the sixth is FAST from OCLC
11:15 kados good question
11:15 thd kados: there are still 5 examples did you mean 5?
11:15 owen But I'm confused about what we're trying to do with facets...expand or narrow or both?
11:14 owen I like the 'narrow results by' options on the NCSU site
11:13 kados :-)
11:13 kados thd: to err is human :-)
11:12 thd kados: so I have erred in the absence of an authority file
11:12 kados thd: right ...
11:11 thd kados: and Chan used a non-LC heading as an example
11:11 kados but one of those 6 will be used
11:11 kados so that's a 6th that I haven't taken the time to discect yet
11:10 kados and now we discovered OCLC's FAST project
11:10 kados http://kados.org/subject_hierarchy.html
11:10 kados owen: there were 5 original proposed ways to nest a given subject in a hierarchy:
11:10 kados they present some pretty interesting puzzles :-)
11:09 kados thd and I spent a good deal of the weekend pondering LC subjects
11:09 owen :)
11:09 kados well ... I can't explain the specifics because I haven't figured it out completely
11:07 owen How so?
11:04 kados owen: well that will change
11:04 owen Particularly when the 'nodes' hardly ever contain more than one item each
11:04 owen kados: my instinct is to say that the js hierarchy is too complex for our users
11:02 paul kados : http://i8.bureau.paulpoulain.com/cgi-bin/koha/acqui.simple/addbiblio.pl is now UNIMARC with NPL templates (login test/test as well)
11:00 kados owen: but it was pretty quick for a prototype mechanism
11:00 kados owen: I'm not 100% sure that the js hierarchy is the best way to do that
11:00 kados owen: but eventually I'd like it to be a search history
10:59 kados owen: it's pretty minimal at the moment
10:59 kados owen: you click on it and it takes you back to the advanced search page :-)
10:59 owen How is 'remove search' supposed to work?
10:58 kados ok
10:58 paul (if you have a small one, throw me a link to DL it)
10:58 paul but I haven't MARC21 DB
10:58 kados using default
10:58 kados I will test that first
10:58 kados I suspect MARC21 doesn't work in default templates
10:57 paul npl ones are not.
10:57 paul mmm... the default templates are OK
10:57 kados paul: or are they stock cvs?
10:57 kados paul: did you change templates too?
10:57 paul kados : addbiblio.pl reverted. http://i5.bureau.paulpoulain.com/cgi-bin/koha/acqui.simple/addbiblio.pl works (login test/test)
10:57 kados owen: comments, questions?
10:56 kados well ... that's enough to fill a book :-)
10:56 kados (and only works with CCL queries at the moment)
10:55 kados well ... 'Further limit' does
10:55 kados the others allow refining the current search to include additional characteristics
10:55 kados default facets show up when there hasn't been a search
10:54 kados and the 'default facets'
10:54 kados the final thing I did was the 'remove search' and 'further limit search to'
10:54 kados that way, the user won't have to scroll down to see that there are multiple types of facets
10:53 kados Stephenson, Neal
10:53 kados Authors
10:53 kados A Bandam spectra book.
10:53 kados Volume two of The Baroque cycle
10:53 kados The Baroque cycle
10:53 kados Series
10:53 kados See 25 more
10:53 kados Kings and rules
10:52 kados Treasure trove
10:52 kados Scientists
10:52 dewey Subjects are authority controlled
10:52 kados Subjects
10:52 kados has:
10:52 kados so for instance, a search on neal stephenson
10:52 kados 3-5 of each type of facet
10:52 owen Thanks dewey!
10:52 kados and hide the rest within a final one called 'see X more'
10:52 dewey -2
10:52 owen 3-5 what?
10:51 kados as far as display, I plan to only show the first 3-5
10:51 kados probably to follow the FAST guidelines: http://www.oclc.org/research/projects/fast/
10:51 kados will be completely re-written from a functional POV
10:50 kados owen: so facets ...
10:50 kados paul: such as subject, author, etc.
10:50 kados paul: it is a compilation of all of a given aspect of the results
10:49 kados paul: if you do a search, the faceted results are those listed on the left-hand side under 'Subject' Authors' 'series'
10:49 paul kados, could you explain me what "facets" means pls ?
10:48 kados as far as facets go
10:47 kados as well as the 'don't make me think' book
10:46 kados http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/
10:46 kados http://search.ebay.com
10:46 kados http://firstsearch.oclc.org
10:46 kados http://www.amazon.com
10:46 kados http://aqua.queenslibrary.org/
10:45 kados all of my design choices were made from looking at the following sites:
10:43 kados because sometimes the list goes beyond the space designated
10:43 kados I turned on overflow: auto to enable that
10:43 kados yep, you'll get that
10:43 kados the content is in javascript
10:42 kados yea, it's overflow
10:42 owen Just overflow?
10:42 kados no iframe
10:42 kados (before I get to that ...
10:42 owen Is that in an iframe?
10:41 kados and then there's the new facets feature
10:41 kados advanced search is always visible (in opacnav)
10:41 kados if they need to do a search, they can do it from any page
10:40 kados so the idea was, make the main page more interactive
10:40 kados 3. 4-5 items recently returned
10:40 kados 2. 4-5 items pulled from a given staff list (virtual shelf)
10:39 kados 1. 4-5 items related to items you've previously checked out
10:39 kados yep
10:39 owen opac-main seems to be empty!
10:39 kados they are:
10:39 kados in preperation for a couple features I've been working on
10:38 kados opac-main has had a complete facelift
10:38 kados lets see ...
10:38 kados s/amazon.com/a9.com/
10:38 kados so the feed is actually generated from amazon.com (though we can generate feeds natively ... I just didn't get around to it)
10:37 kados the rss relies on the OpenSearch plugin I haven't committed yet
10:37 kados floated the re-sort list to the right to free up space
10:37 owen How does that work?
10:37 kados added a rss feed icon
10:37 kados 'search' returned X results is always resident but not a large thematic element
10:36 kados modified how the searchdesc displays
10:36 kados added a resident search to the masthead that should show up on all screens
10:35 kados I cleaned up all the opac scripts to use the new API (hopefully didn't miss anything)
10:35 owen It's getting into shaky territory, because we can't lead people to believe that the book bag is saved with their account settings.
10:35 kados at least based on the feedback I solicited
10:35 kados but conceptually, that's where people seem to want them
10:34 kados I agree book bags aren't tied to accounts
10:34 kados which several people found confusing
10:34 kados in the opacnav
10:34 kados is also called 'library catalog'
10:34 owen Book bags aren't tied to accounts
10:33 kados the 'Search Home' link on http://search.athenscounty.lib.oh.us/
10:33 kados several clients also didn't understand why there were so many of the same link on a given page
10:32 kados they expected it to be in the 'account' section
10:32 kados several people didn't understand why the book bag link was above search results
10:31 kados or at least in one area
10:31 kados well, I've gotten numerous comments that all account-related stuff should be in one place
10:31 owen Like what?
10:30 kados and fulfil some of the usability feedback I've gotten from various places
10:30 kados my goal was to clean up all the OPAC scripts and remove all redundent/obsolete data
10:29 kados mainly, over the weekend, I worked on the OPAC
10:29 kados sure
10:28 owen So kados bring me up to date on what you've been working on.
10:26 kados k ...
10:25 owen Sure, why not
10:24 kados <span class="term"></span> maybe?
10:24 kados class even
10:24 kados with a specific clas?
10:24 kados owen: a span?
10:24 kados owen: well, I can add it back, just tell me what you want the term to be wrapped in
10:24 owen (in dev_week terms)
10:23 owen Yeah, that was a long time ago.
10:23 kados owen: is that where the search query used to be hilighted?
10:23 kados owen: 'fix the “bold_titleâ€� in search results page'
10:22 kados why call number sorting isn't working has got me stumped
10:21 kados well, it's a problem we can fix :-)
10:21 kados owen: so if they don't work as expected, look to the record
10:21 kados owen: the queries on all those are correct
10:19 kados slef: troubleshooting the 2.2.5 version has been known to drive one mad
10:19 kados slef: your best bet on that is upgrading to Net::Z3950::ZOOM and grabbing the latest code from rel_2_2
10:18 slef kados: whatever's default. Net::Z3950?
10:18 slef owen: hi, by the way.
10:18 kados slef: using Net::Z3950? or Net::Z3950::ZOOM?
10:17 slef Got a strange problem with z39.50 search in a 2.2.5 system - everything is returning "Nothing found" even if the daemon finds it. I'll read the debug log once I return in a bit, but any tips welcome.
10:17 kados which is obviouly more recent than anything with 2006- :-)
10:17 kados date acquired is: 202004-02-04
10:17 kados eg: http://zoomopac.liblime.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-MARCdetail.pl?bib=139954
10:16 kados more preprocessing for me to do and it's on my list already
10:16 kados and in some cases, the date is listed as 2099-x-x
10:16 kados and by work, I mean that it relies on what's in the record
10:16 kados DVD does though
10:16 kados they might not all work
10:15 kados hmmm ...
10:15 owen The "most recent additions" search doesn't seem to be working
10:13 kados owen: just added isbn search
10:13 kados owen: yea
10:13 dewey zoomopac is probably stock dev-week with only minor changes to searching soon to be committed
10:13 owen zoomopac?
10:13 kados owen: 100 is still in sync with dev_week
10:12 kados owen: just going through our todo list
10:12 owen I came in to find a note saying the internet was up and down all day yesterday, so who knows how long I'll be back
10:12 kados owen: glad to see you back :-)
10:12 kados owen: sure am
10:09 owen kados, you around?
09:52 paul (the receive one at least)
09:52 paul + look at my today commits, I think i've solved some/few acquisition problems you reported on koha226bugs
09:52 kados k, ping me when done
09:52 paul OK, i'll revert immediatly, let me 10mn to finish what i'm working on, and then I revert.
09:51 kados I can show you the problems when you do revert it
09:51 kados a mistake even
09:51 kados it was mistake
09:51 kados you can revert my latest commit
09:50 paul I could revert your commit & try to fix them myself
09:50 paul could you explain your problems ?
09:50 kados yep
09:50 paul imho, addbiblio is a proof that we must use only 1 set of templates in Koha.
09:49 kados MARC21
09:49 kados but I seem to have broken your stuff in my attempt to fix
09:49 paul do you mean MARC21 or npl templates ?
09:49 kados it's never worked correctly for MARC21 records
09:49 kados I'm very sorry
09:48 paul addbibio-- ???
09:48 paul with default, I have an empty screen & with NPL, authority report don't work anymore.
09:48 kados addbiblio--
09:48 kados yep
09:48 paul it don't work anymore, with NPL or default templates.
09:48 kados paul: don't know if you've seen this report or not
09:47 paul it's about addbiblio.pl, once again.
09:47 kados paul: http://wiki.liblime.com/doku.php?id=koha226bugs
09:47 paul I had a question for you, about your recent commit :
09:47 paul kados, yes, i've seen & read the mail.
09:47 kados hi all
09:47 kados paul: I've replied to your email
09:39 paul so, rel_2_2
09:39 slef (as in fix the new installer)
09:38 slef priorities: get a working koha, fix the installer
09:38 paul head and/or dev_week are definetly for w@rl0rds developpers.
09:37 paul good question. depends on what you plan to do.
09:36 slef Soon I will need to update my Koha installation to be useful again. Should I aim for rel_2_6 or HEAD?
09:35 slef Finally I stop doing VOIP and VPN and can get back on web sites more-or-less full-time.
09:34 paul hi slef
09:34 slef Hello all!
08:56 tumer i wish i knew some xml xsl and xslt
08:55 paul sorry for you
08:55 paul :-(
08:54 tumer my mistake was i misssed this and finished the writing of whole new API for it ready to go
08:53 tumer so we have to keep holdings data in biblios
08:53 tumer very much
08:53 paul aren't you too disappointed by ID answer (about merging data results)
08:53 tumer yes dewey and still
08:52 dewey i heard hi tumer was still strugling
08:52 paul hi tumer
08:52 tumer hi paul

03:20 chris loc doesnt have the most reliable server
03:20 chris whats the log tell you
03:19 qiqo :(
03:19 qiqo still im not getting results from the library of congress
03:18 qiqo hurrah
03:17 chris that looks like its running
03:17 chris ie add the $
03:17 chris try making it $Net::Z3950 ....
03:16 qiqo heres what i get in ps: 4950 pts/1 S 0:00 /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/koha/intranet/scripts/z3950daemon/processz3950queue /usr/local/koha/log
03:16 chris actually
03:14 chris right
03:14 qiqo then ill try again
03:14 qiqo ill have the two commented out
03:13 qiqo Bareword "Net::Z3950::RecordSyntax::UNIMARC" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at /usr/local/koha/intranet/scripts/z3950daemon/processz3950queue line 261.
03:13 chris anything else in the error log now/
03:13 qiqo ehehe its still is not running
03:13 qiqo ohh nope false alarm
03:11 qiqo oh its running
03:10 chris you could try commenting that line out
03:10 qiqo are MARC21 and USMARC alike? because my teacher in library science told me that they are somewhat different
03:10 qiqo i think the problem is betweenMARC21 andUS marc
03:09 qiqo line 260 says: eval { $conn->option(preferredRecordSyntax =>
03:09 chris 2 secs i think i remember the fix for this
03:08 chris there we go, thats why its not starting
03:08 qiqo Bareword "Net::Z3950::RecordSyntax::USMARC" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at /usr/local/koha/intranet/scripts/z3950daemon/processz3950queue line 260.
03:08 chris what does it say?
03:07 qiqo yup
03:07 chris todays date?
03:07 qiqo there is one
03:07 qiqo yup
03:07 chris z3950-daemon-20060725-2005.log
03:07 chris are there any files like
03:07 chris in /usr/local/koha/log
03:07 qiqo errmm..
03:06 chris right its not running then
03:06 qiqo 4904 pts/1 S+ 0:00 | | \_ grep z3950
03:06 chris 2000 pts/17 S 0:04 \_ /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/koha/intranet/scripts/z3950daemon/processz3950queue /usr/local/koha/log
03:06 chris 1999 pts/17 S 0:00 su -c /usr/local/koha/intranet/scripts/z3950daemon/z3950-daemon-shell.sh - www-data
03:06 chris should get something like
03:06 chris ps axf | grep "z3950"
03:06 chris what happens when you type
03:05 qiqo how do you know if its loaded?
03:04 qiqo yup
03:04 chris in /usr/local/koha/intranet/scripts/z3950daemon
03:04 chris is the script to start it
03:04 chris z3950-daemon-launch.sh
03:03 qiqo my query is included in the koha-errorlog
03:03 qiqo i think it's not running
03:02 chris so you can see what its doing
03:02 chris to /usr/local/koha/log/
03:02 chris it will log
03:02 chris maybe, but i dont think so, you do need to have the daemon running though
03:01 qiqo according to the mailing list, after adding a z3950 server i have to restart the daemon
03:01 chris the main thing to check is do you have z3950 daemon running?
03:00 chris its a bit tricky to get going
03:00 qiqo then i attempted an upgrade
03:00 qiqo nope it wasnt.. actually i just finished installing 2.2.5 a while ago
03:00 chris hi hdl
03:00 chris was the z3950 working before you started upgrading?
03:00 qiqo hello hdl
03:00 hdl hello all
02:59 qiqo nope, the upgrade never finalised
02:58 chris did you upgrade it when you were trying to upgrade to 2.3 ?
02:57 qiqo my Z3950 module isnt working
02:55 qiqo ok im back with 2.2.5
02:55 qiqo i run koha.upgrade or 2.2.5
02:54 qiqo yup im doing that as of the moment
02:54 chris but im not sure about that
02:54 chris i think just get the older version and install that
02:54 chris to go back down to a previous version? hmm not sure about that
02:53 qiqo ahh ok now i understand
02:53 chris if its even, like 2.2 or 2.4 ... then it should work
02:53 qiqo ermm ok so i have another question... how do i reset the Z3950 module
02:53 chris then its unstable/development and only *might* work
02:53 chris if the second number is an odd number
02:52 chris if you actually want to use it, id wait for a 2.4.x release
02:52 qiqo ah aryt i understand
02:52 chris tells you a little bit more about it
02:52 qiqo :(
02:52 chris http://savannah.nongnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=4530
02:50 chris yes, 2.3.0 is purely a development release
02:50 qiqo why is that so chris?
02:50 chris just installing 2.3.0 and getting it to work is very hard
02:50 qiqo ah really?
02:50 chris theres about 0% chance that an upgrade from 2.2.5 to 2.3.0 will work
02:49 toins paul, la je n'ai pas de voiture dans l'immediat... donc cet après midi
02:49 qiqo from 2.2.5 to 2.3.0
02:49 qiqo im getting this error message while updating koha to 2.3.0 not well-formed (invalid token) at line 2, column 8, byte 9 at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i486-linux/XML/Parser.pm line 187
02:48 toins paul, Ah trop bien !!!

02:06 osmoze hello #koha
18:57 thd kados: FAST was Chan's idea from a decade ago to simplify LCSH for the era when no one knew how to catalogue anymore
18:55 thd kados: FAST is not a solution for records with LCSH
18:55 thd kados: are you there?
18:53 thd tumer: maybe they never ran that whole system but they had won the contract to help build it
18:51 tumer well lets hope and wait
18:51 thd tumer: I think Index Data forgot about it
18:50 thd tumer: it has not been working for a few weeks and it is years old
18:50 tumer can we look at it?
18:49 tumer demo where?
18:48 thd tumer: I hope Index data supports record linking. I think they must because they helped with a demo system that must have had linked record indexes.
18:42 tumer and they only retrieve some records while i have to retrive all 1000 extract biblionumbers then do a search for each get 120 results
18:41 thd tumer: so 1000 simultaneous users is really only ten simultaneous users?
18:40 tumer not really, scripts work faster then fingers
18:39 thd tumer: will you not have the same issue when you have 1000 simultaneous users? :)
18:38 tumer no but try 1000 searches of biblionumbers one after the other and everything is standstill
18:38 thd s/domain/server/
18:37 thd tumer: do you have problems with one database failing to respond if you search multiple databases in the same domain?
18:35 tumer yes you do 1000 times
18:35 thd tumer I guess it is recursive if each record must search for its own ID again
18:34 tumer result gives yo 121 records
18:34 tumer well search author and get 1000 records search branch main get 120,000 records then do a serach of 1000 biblionumbers within 120,000
18:32 thd tumer: how did you implement the recursive search of IDs? What was recursive about your search?
18:30 thd oh I have the message now
18:28 tumer not yet
18:27 thd tumer: yes, had you posted to koha-devel?
18:22 tumer i want to be able to limit the search to 120,000 records out of 200,000 depending which criteria i put in like a branch
18:21 tumer but SQL like JOIN is what we are after
18:20 tumer or vice versa
18:20 tumer search biblios and retrive related items -- no problem
18:20 tumer we do the similar thing with items as well
18:19 tumer thd:koha-dvel already does that
18:16 tumer oops sorry
18:16 thd tumer: koha at agogme.com
18:16 tumer yes your email please
18:15 thd tumer did you not want an email address?
18:15 thd tumer: I want to be able to search the references and tracings for multiple authority records and return bibliographic records
18:15 tumer agogme.com what do i do there?
18:14 thd tumer well it is the authority records about which I have the greatest concern
18:13 thd tumer: try koha at agogme.com
18:12 tumer authority and bibliographic works fine
18:12 thd s/authority/holdings/
18:11 thd tumer: you could then have 99X for the bibliographic ID in both bibliographic and authority records
18:10 tumer thd: i think i could not let myself be understood very well. give me a mail address and i will send you an email
18:09 thd s/filed/field/
18:09 thd tumer: you could put record IDs which needed matching into some local use filed and index on the local use field which would then be the same field for bibliographic and holdings records.
18:07 tumer like ???
18:06 thd tumer: kados thought of a way around the problem for some cases
18:06 thd tumer: with what are you still struggling?
18:06 tumer oh i sent a report to ID about the issue we discussed
18:05 tumer hi i am still strugling
18:05 thd tumer: what was the message that you sent?
18:05 thd tumer hello
17:43 thd kados: are you there?
14:16 thd hdl: you are quite welcome. OSX is great for the GUI but is not what you want to install Unix software on if you had a choice.
14:14 hdl thd: Many thx.
14:12 thd kados: where is tumer's message?
14:07 thd hdl: I really needed the OSX for Unix Geeks book to find my way around how Apple renamed everything etc. The book also has some undocumented commands
14:01 thd hdl: often you may find that you want to install things with a different version than what apple provides fink has a separate non-conflicting directory for doing just that
13:58 thd hdl: Google searches on site:macosxhints.com are helpful
13:57 thd hdl: I remember some problems with the directory where OSX puts man pages
13:55 thd hdl: It was too long ago to remember except that you need to install the developer tools and I would recommend installing Fink.
13:54 hdl thd: Do you have some guidelines for Koha Installations ?
13:54 thd hdl: Koha should not be a major problem
13:54 thd hdl: I did get things to work but I had to Google to workaround errors too often for installing some things from source
13:52 thd shedges, hdl, kados: Apple made OSX sufficiently different from FreeBSD, that doing work on the command line in the proper Unix way was a recurring exercise in frustration for minor incompatibilities
13:50 thd shedges: so no, I would have needed to recompile Apache and that might have broken other things so I refused to do more work on OSX after a certain point.
13:50 shedges me, too. I thought maybe somebody had solved the problem.
13:49 thd shedges: I wasted months trying to find an alternative a year ago
13:48 shedges thd: did your install include the Z3950 search?
13:47 thd hdl: I successfully installed Koha 2.2 on OSX.
13:47 hdl services are launched with service httpd restart
13:47 thd hdl: you should get a copy of "OSX for Unix Geeks"
13:47 kados I use debian sarge for all koha installations
13:46 kados don't have KOha installed
13:46 kados i only run OSX as a desktop
13:46 hdl For instance : apache is named httpd
13:46 hdl kados : Is there any tricks I should be aware of before installing ?
13:45 thd hdl: you have to match versions correctly so be certain you know which animal panther, cheetah, etc you have OS 10.?
13:44 thd hdl: you need developer's tools first
13:43 thd hdl: you should also install fink which has ports from Debian so that you can install things correctly
13:43 kados hdl: so according to that guy you can do it
13:42 kados hdl: I'm not responsible if it breaks their system :-)
13:42 thd hdl: in any case, you can download the developer's tools
13:42 kados hdl: http://tomclegg.net/xcode-remote-install
13:42 hdl I think it is MacOSX Server Edition.
13:41 thd hdl: is this the server version of the software?
13:41 kados hdl: one way would be via VNC
13:41 thd kados: I suspect there is a way
13:41 kados there is no way to install remotely that I know of
13:41 thd hdl: the incompatibilities of building things on OSX are also a lot of work
13:41 hdl :D
13:40 kados that is a problem :-)
13:40 kados hmmm
13:40 hdl via ssh.
13:40 kados hehe
13:40 hdl It is on a machine in switzerland.
13:40 hdl Holy ...
13:40 kados hdl: install Xcode tools and it should work properly
13:39 kados it's just a lot of work
13:39 kados so you can do it manually
13:39 kados and copy things over to the right spots
13:39 kados all make does is run the tests
13:39 kados hdl: and copy it into your perl path
13:39 hdl I always use perl -MCPAN -e install ?
13:39 kados hdl: look in the lib dir
13:39 kados hdl: yes
13:39 hdl But is there a way to install perl Module without building them ?
13:38 thd hd: you have to have the developer's tools disc installed, well kados types faster
13:38 hdl The first I tried was MARC::Record.
13:38 kados hdl: Xcode tools
13:38 kados hdl: on the original CD
13:38 kados hdl: it sounds like you need to install the developer's tools
13:37 kados hdl: and what module?
13:37 hdl kados : make command not found.
13:37 dewey i guess the exact error is just before :
13:37 kados hdl: what's the exact error?
13:36 thd hdl: what version of OSX?
13:36 kados hmmm
13:35 hdl Do you know how to cope with it ?
13:34 hdl It seems It cannot launch make
13:34 hdl MacOSX perl Module installation
13:34 hdl I have a problem
13:34 kados hdl: what's up?/
13:34 kados hdl: yep
13:28 hdl kados around?
13:02 tumer[A] kados:check mail. Was it clear enough?
12:58 kados http://www.oclc.org/research/projects/fast/
