Thank you Mark for the warning and suggestions. The truth is I've had some unix experience in the distant past; instead of copying anything, I'd link so that I could easily revert to the original state.
As I've mentioned before, I use a ready-made VM, the reason that I don't ask the provider of that image directly is that his (and your) replies will be available to us all, for all current and future users of his appliance. /etc/environment is empty in my installation, I've updated /home/koha/.bashrc instead, as per Ian's instructions. Kind regards, Manos P.S. I do miss the good old unix days when all I had to check was a .profile -----Original Message----- From: Mark Tompsett [mailto:mtomp...@hotmail.com] Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2012 8:30 AM To: Manos PETRIDIS; 'anjoze' Cc: koha@lists.katipo.co.nz Subject: Re: [Koha] Browse by hierarchy - Links not working Greetings, DISCLAIMER: THIS FEEDBACK DOES NOT APPLY TO EVERYONE, PLEASE DON'T JUST TRY THIS BECAUSE YOU HAVE A PROBLEM. > About your problem *Can't locate C4/Context.pm in @INC* Someone in > this forum found this solution: > Copying C4 directory to /etc/perl/ should solve your problem: > cp -a /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/ /etc/perl/ This is the WRONG solution. Yes, it works, but upgrading your koha in the future becomes a nightmare! There are supposed to be two environment variables defined: $KOHA_CONF $PERL5LIB If you do not have these defined, you will encounter problems running Koha scripts. (WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU DO NOT READING CAREFULLY.) *IF* (IF, IF, IF, IF, IF) PERL5LIB is not (I repeat NOT, NOT, NOT, NOT) defined at all, and given the results of your search: (DO NOT DO THIS IF PERL5LIB IS DEFINED, BECAUSE YOU COULD BREAK SOMETHING ELSE!) $ export PERL5LIB=/home/koha/kohaclone Follow up questions: If you have a kohaclone directory, how did you answer the build questions? If you didn't build this, and it is a virtual machine image, ask the provider of that image. One potential workaround, if your system is a koha only system: Under Ubuntu, and perhaps other debian-based OSes (though I haven't tested them) you can add to the bottom of /etc/environment (as root): PERL5LIB=/home/koha/kohaclone Log out, and log back in, and this will be set for EVERY user on the system. This is only a good solution if the system is a koha only system. Otherwise, you will need to modify appropriate rc shell scripts in particular users home directories to set it.
