Title: Greenstone - what the heck is Greenstone?
Post by: cbacani on May 02, 2007, 09:59:49 PM

Greenstone is a suite of software for building and distributing digital library collections. It provides a new way of organizing information and publishing it on the Internet or on CD-ROM.

The aim of the Greenstone software is to empower users, particularly in universities, libraries, and other public service institutions, to build their own digital libraries.

Anybody out there have any idea how to install this amazing program on a SME server?    http://www.greenstone.org/cgi-bin/library

Thanks in advance.

It would help if their FAQ not only held the questions, but also the answers :-)

I thought that figuring out how Hylafax worked was hard but Greenstone has me beat. This package also requires java SDK, perl and a few other goodies before you can get to the install.

As we used to say in the Air Force ' HELP' Please.
