Hi folks,
Is anyone using the Z39.50 Module on a Windows System? I'm trying to, so far without success. I am using Windows 2000. I working with Perl on D: (a hard drive partition), not C, because our IT department, sensibly, likes to keep C: for the standard installation. First I tried the basic Perl. At makefile.pl I get the error: D:\Perl\Net-Z3950-0.50>perl Makefile.pl 'yaz-config' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. 'yaz-config' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. ERROR: Unable to call script 'yaz-config': is YAZ installed? at Makefile.pl line 12. I thought I installed YAZ to a folder entitled D:\Perl\YAZ yet perhaps this is not where it is expected in the file structure. Reading on in the documentation (http://perl.z3950.org/support/windows.html) I find that: "Despite one or two apocryphal success stories (and I'd love to get a definitive one), most people who have tried to build the Net::Z3950 module on Microsoft's Windows operating systems have found that they can't get the Event module (a prerequisite) built." I don't think I got quite that far, but decided it might be time to try plan B and install VBZOOM anyway. I couldn't get that to work either. Here I get the error message: "Component 'RICHTX32.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered; a file is missing or invalid." I found RICHTX32.OCX, no clue what "its dependencies" might be. I thought perhaps RICHTX32.OCX was not where it was expected and could be copied to another location, but where would that be? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. JJ **Views expressed by the author do not necessarily represent those of the Queens Library.** Jane Jacobs Asst.
