[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Installation of Perl modules has failed

Thu Jul 28 16:49:47 EDT 2011

Thank you so much for your help, Chris!

I'm at a small college with a library running on Evergreen. The server went down and we have a backed up pgdump (evergreen.sql). In trying to get the server up and running again, I tried installing Evergreen 2.0 and importing the file into that server (psql evergreen < evergreen.sql).

The output from that was as follows:

postgres at server:~$ psql database < olddb.sql
SET

setval

(1 row)

ERROR:  function xml_is_well_formed(text) does not exist
LINE 1: SELECT xml_is_well_formed( $1 )

HINT: No function matches the given name and argument types. You might need to 
add explicit type casts
QUERY:  SELECT xml_is_well_formed( $1 )
CONTEXT:  PL/pgSQL function “check_marcxml_well_formed” line 3 at IF

1	FOO”

I posted to the PostgreSQL mailing list about this, and the recommendation I received was to try and recreate the original server as best as I could, and follow the upgrade path after importing the data.

So, essentially, I have a .sql file from PostgreSQL 8.2 or 8.3 (not really sure, but I think 8.3) that I need to import into a new evergreen installation (old or new, doesn't bother me). If there is an easier way than what I am trying, I'd love to hear it. Even if there's a harder way, I'd love to hear it. We need this back up and running very soon.

Thanks, again for your help!

Elliot,

I just attempted to install OpenSRF-1.0.7 on Ubuntu 8.04 to try and replicate your issue, and I can replicated it.  I saw some errors during the CPAN module installation section of the Makefile.install step, but I have not had a chance to see what did not get installed.  I may be able to dig in a bit more later.

Since OpenSRF 1.0.7 and Evergreen 1.4.0.6 are EOL as far as community support goes, this installation may not succeed (at least without a lot of shoehorning).  Can you elaborate on the particulars of your situation?  There may be alternative ways to get what you're trying to do done.

Chris
