[Gnumed-devel] Gnumed on Debian 'Sid' (sort of)

[Michael Bonert]

Hi Everyone,

The past few months have been really busy; I started med school
in September.  Any case, I finally got the chance to try out Gnumed
on Debian.

Attached below are my install notes.  I think they might be useful
for other people that are just cruising through, are running
Debian and want to give Gnumed a try.  Also, I haven't quite gotten
Gnumed running.  It crashed after the start screen. :(

The problem seems to lie somewhere in the bootstrapping.

The error message I get is:
"no staff name on file for current database login"
(details below)

This has got me a bit confused 'cause I can access the database
(gnumed) with pgaccess and see 'test-doc' which looks like a staff
to me.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Michael
