From walter at katipo.co.nz Tue Aug 2 20:12:12 2011 From: walter at katipo.co.nz (Walter McGinnis) Date: Wed, 3 Aug 2011 12:12:12 +1200 Subject: [Ruby-zoom-devel] Heads up, latest YAZ is picky about localhost on Debian Lenny Message-ID: <894973E3-8A0D-4E37-A55E-E6BA1544A348@katipo.co.nz> Hi, I've been pulling my hair out since last week trying to figure out why I couldn't connect to the latest version of Zebra/YAZ via ruby-zoom for the Kete app. Turns out, at least on Debian Lenny, that unlike zoomsh and yaz-client, when running Zoom::Connection#connect specifying 'localhost' wouldn't even hit the Zebra instance (well, nothing noted in log) whereas '127.0.0.1' works fine. The problem exists in YAZ 4.2.6, at least in combination with Debian Lenny. As late as YAZ 4.0.11 this wasn't a problem on Debian Lenny (though perhaps not fully updated Lenny). I've let IndexData know about the situation.

I've let IndexData know about the situation. Turns out it isn't an issue with Squeeze though.

It just doesn't happen from a clean install of Squeeze. Hopefully this is the last I have to say about the issue. Ugh. Cheers, Walter
