The Zebra-part of Emilda is currently one of the things that need most 
attention, at least to my oppninon...=) There should be an example Zebra 
configuration in the downloads-section on realnode.fi, but when looking 
right now at it, I realize, that there is none. I currently have no 
access to the web-page as I'm not at 'home', but I will do my best to 
have the example configuraion online by the beginning of next week.

There seems to be something irrational about Zebra, if the folder 
containing the MARC-records is empty. Then it will exactly tell You that 
all 'attributes' are unknown, and that the 'Database 'Default' coud not 
be selected', but this dissappears immediately after adding the first 
MARC entry. You could try just to add an entry, and tell me if it 
worked, or if it something went wrong. You of course need to have the 
zebrasrv-process running before anythin can work, so if You did not have 
it running, it is no wonder that Yaz complains...=) You can start the 
Zebra process by going into the zebra-folder (that You specified in the 
config), and typing 'zebrasrv', and seeing what it outputs.
You really need to have some experience to get Zebra working without any 
exmaple configurations, so that if all fails, You have either to ask the 
Indexdata peolpe, or wait a bit for the example configuration. I'm 
really sorry that I forgot to put it online before the release, but 
apparently there is something to it that my girlfriend is telling me 
that I'm becoming demented...=)
