[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Trying out staff client with new install

[Josh Stompro]

I installed Javascript::Spidermonkey, I just used the debian versions of 
the mozjs lib, and had to edit the perl make file a little to get the 
module to compile.  After that I was still getting some errors about  
missing log4perl, so I installed that (and updated the perl dependancy 
docs). 

The staff client now works (Huzzah!). open-ils.storage is up and running 
and connecting to the database.  I'm running debian in vmware and I only 
had 256MB of ram allocated.  When I first tried to login via the staff 
client things went bad, it was an utter swap fest.  After upping the 
memory to 512mb I am up and running.  I tried importing a few records 
via oclc, but wasn't too sucessfull.

Record not likely imported.

}


Are there any instructions for doing a bulk import of bibs, items, and 
patrons(customers) yet? 

I attempted to add a user but the user editor doesn't ever show the 
input fields. 

All these problems could be related to me using the debian versions of 
all the MARC packages you listed, and the version of spidermonkey.  I 
will check out the log files and see if I can get some clues.  Thanks 
for your help.  I am sort of glad that I have had to dig as much as I 
have to get this up and running, I feel like I understand the system and 
the terminology a little better now.
