Net::Z3950::ZOOM install error no.such.host fails on OpenSUSE 11

[andymalo]

I'm trying to follow the OpenSUSE install guide for Koha at http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=opensuse_11.0  and I'm running into a problem with installing Net::Z3950::ZOOM.  I've read the post on this error at
http://www.nabble.com/Can%27t-install-Net::Z3950::ZOOM-on-openSUSE-11.0-td18433690.html
and I know I have installed yaz with

yast -i yaz

But ZOOM still won't install.  It seems that cpan has version 1.25 of ZOOM, whereas in this guide they are using 1.24. Could this be my problem?  or am I missed some dependency?

Thanks for the detailed description. Is your Koha server behind a
proxy server and/or firewall? If it is, it may be blocking some
connection tests to Z3950 servers that are done during the
installation of the Net::Z3950::ZOOM Perl module. In that case, my
recommendation is to try to do a "force install" of that module:

myhost # cpan

cpan[1]> force install Net::Z3950::ZOOM

cpan[2]> quit
Lockfile removed.


Obviously, if you're trying to use the Z3950 server connection
functionality of Koha, you'll have to solve later the problem of the
proxy / firewall block.

I hope this information helps you. Please, report back saying if the
force install solves your problem.

Ricardo,
Thanks for your reply. I appreciate that you've written a guide for installing Koha, I would really like to utilize this program, however I'm having a difficult time installing it.   I tried your suggestion to do a force install.  And I think it worked.  I forgot I had to go back and redo the make test and make install.

I did a "reports MIRK/Net-Z3950-ZOOM-1.25.tar.gz" in cpan, and I found this page http://cpantesters.perl.org/show/Net-Z3950-ZOOM.html  It seems that there are not many installs of this package that pass according to CPAN.

Thanks for your help.

Actually ignore my previous, I redid the make test and make install and it seems it did work.  I'm still testing it out, but I am now able to get to the OPAC site.
Thanks

Hello,

I too faced problems with installing this module.

I forged ahead and installed Koha anyway, assuming that the limitations with not having this module were possibly the inability to perform Z39.50 servers or to host the installed Koha as a Z39.50 server or both, etc.

Then, later in the install, i (re-)installed some yaz-related packages, with a command like:
yum install yaz libyaz libyaz-devel

Following this, i re-tried the cpan install of the ZOOM module and it worked!

i understand that this post may not solve your problem, just sharing my own experience with the "moody" yaz and Z39.50 software.

Thanks and regards,

Ricardo,
Thanks for your reply. I appreciate that you've written a guide for
installing Koha, I would really like to utilize this program, however I'm
having a difficult time installing it.   I tried your suggestion to do a
force install.  Unfortunately it didn't work.  I am not behind a proxy, and
my firewall is not so restrictive as to prevent outgoing traffic.  Here is
the output for the attempted force:
