Hola Mariana:

Al parecer ninguna de esas situaciones se aplican a lo que yo planteaba. 
Mi problema no es con el GLI, porque no lo uso. Mi problema es que greenstone 
(library.cgi supongo) a veces responde todo, a veces parte, a veces nada, y a 
veces un error de "la conexion ha sido reestablecida" (¿??).

Me entero leyendo los mensajes que greenstone no soporta correr en maquinas 64 
bit. De todas formas otra maquina que usamos de servidor corre con un ubuntu 
server 10.4 de 64 bits y anda casi perfecto. 
Los dos unicos problema, y ahora me imagino que puede tener que ver con eso (lo 
postee en esta lista), es que cuando se configura en main.cfg que se ignoren 
los acentos (cgiarg shortname=af argdefault=1) se cae en las busquedas (lo cual 
es MUY molesto).
El otro, tambien posteado, es que en las construcción del diccionario de stemms 
(o como se diga) me da un error "segmentation fault" por cada clasificador de 
la colección, y me quedo sin saber si anda, no anda, anda mas o menos o qué. Lo 
que como te imaginaras resta mucha seguridad a la hora de saber que estoy 
ofreciendo a los investigadores que usan las colecciones.
En fin, situaciones muy problematicas para mi trabajo.

¿Si compilo en 64 bits se arregla? ¿Es solo problema de compilación?

Gracias y hasta mañana.

Hola Marcelo
 
Greenstone 2 es una versión compilada para 32 bits....
Adjunto varias respuestas sobre el tema que han circulado en la lista de
usuarios en inglés, por si alguna de ellas resuelve sus problemas.....

    Hello Samuel,

    

    Currently Greenstone is not supported on 64-bit machines and the
    Greenstone you have installed is a 32-bit version. The problem is
    that the Expat.so included with Greenstone is 32-bit and the Perl
    loader is looking for a 64-bit version. To fix this you will need to
    run:

    

    yum install perl-XML-Parser.x86_64

    

    as the root user on the server machine.

    

    Hope this helps,

    Sam of the Greenstone Team

Hi



Where did you install Greenstone? 2.83 cannot be installed in a place
with spaces or brackets () in it. eg Program Files is no good.



If you have used a path like this, please try reinstalling  into eg
C:\Greenstone.



Are you 32 or 64 bit windows?

Katherine

Hi,
 
Please try going to "Control Panel" --> "System" --> "Advanced system 
settings" --> "Environment Variables", look through the system variables 
and if JAVA_HOME does not exist then click "New...", in "Variable name" 
type JAVA_HOME and in "Variable value" type the path to your Java 
installation (e.g. C:\Program Files\Java\jre6). If the JAVA_HOME system 
variable already exists then make sure it points to a valid Java 
installation.
 
Also, please note that Greenstone is not yet officially supported on 
64-bit Windows so there is likely that you will encounter more problems 
even if the above fix works.

Subject: Re: [greenstone-users] Greenstone on Windows Server 2008 R2

Hi Mark,
 
The problem you are experiencing is because of the brackets in your file 
path. Up until we tested Greenstone on a 64-bit machine - where 32-bit 
programs are stored in Program Files (x86) - we had not encountered file 
paths with brackets before. It turns out that the Windows scripting 
language (.bat files, like what is used to run GLI on Windows) handles 
brackets in a way that we did not anticipate. We are working on fixing 
this issue for the 2.84 release of Greenstone, in the meantime however I 
would suggest installing Greenstone into a folder without any brackets 
or spaces in its path (for example, C:\Greenstone). Also, if you're 
using a 64-bit machine please note that Greenstone is not yet officially 
supported for 64-bit operating systems and it is possible you will 
encounter other problems if this is the case.
 
Hope this helps,
Sam of the Greenstone Team

Hi



Please try setting JAVA_HOME environment variable (to  C:\Program Files
(x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_17). Then start GLI from a command prompt - run
gli.bat from the /greenstone/gli directory.



What error messages do you get?

  Hello,

 

I have tried to install Greenstone 2.83 in my Windows 7 (64-bit)
machine, but I could not get them working. Please give me some
suggestions.

 

I was installing Greenstone 2 by right clicking on the downloaded file
and running it as administrator. I tried to install it in both
C:\Program Files\Greenstone and C:\Program Files (x86)\Greenstone on
separate occasions. (Uninstall and install)

 

I set the Java in the Path environment. (C:\Program Files
(x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_17\bin)

 

Then, I add the full control to Users for the Greenstone installation
directory.

 

The result is:

 

 - I can open the Greenstone web server. It is fine. I also can use it
with the external Apache HTTP Server.

-  HOWEVER, I cannot open the Librarian Interface. I have tried many
approaches, but I still cannot open it. What do I need to do more?

 

Do I need to install Perl like Active Perl and add it to the Path
environment?

 

Thank you very much.

A newbie on Greenstone.
