Dominic --
I have cc-ed the users list (as John suggested). My most recent install was to a linux version which has some differences from the native windows version. I do have a version on a windoze box but it is set up to use an apache web server rather than its own web interface, so when I look at Start/Programs/Greenstone Digital Library I see only the librarian interface and the read me file (at least I think this may be why I am seeing a different set ofoptions). I have not used the librarian interface since my original work was on an earlier greenstone which didn't really have one; my linux work has all been from the command line and my windows version is a variant of the linux one. I would first find the "library.exe" file and try running it from a DOS prompt (in the gsdl root directory is a setup.bat file you need to run first) -- it should give you a long text listing at the end of which is something like:
If this works I'd guess that that executable is ok; the problem would then like in your firewall or perhaps IIS environemnt; also, newer versions of windows have beefed up security features which could be preventing you from running greenstone. When I run the librarian choice from the Start/Programs menu I get a splash screen and a dialogue box that want to know the path to the webserver; the librarian itself has (under Edit/Preferences a tab called "Connection"; my guess is that these need to be set correctly for your machine; I'll try to play with some some later and see if I can conjure it to life but tyhere be real differences between my environment (Apache 2 on Win2k) and yours. I'd suggest reviewing the Installation manual and perhaps the FAQs for relevant topics; others on this list may have better suggestions than I, since this is really an area of greenstone that I am unfamiliar with. Sorry I can't beof more immediate help ... Greg W. ps better to post to the list if we can and thereby benefit future users as well ... I'll post more on this if I have any success. You might consider posting another messagve which describes your web server environment and what web browser you are using; these might be relevant bits o' information for others. -----Original Message-----
Thanks for the quick response. I was able to get to greenstone, downloaded
When I click greenstone digital library, I get a pop-up saying greenstone
Then when I click the Greenstone Librarian interface mode, it opens the gli
One thing I noticed with the files I have downloaded was that I cannot find

For instance, can you get Greenstone itself to run ? What operating system ? Is your problem in building new collections ? Or customizing the look & feel
