YAZ workaround?

[Krispi]

I am trying to install a program that will lookup library information and download from Library of Congress. I need to have YAZ activated, but HR tells me that this is not available on shared servers. Any ideas for a workaround? The instructions follow for YAZ installation:

YAZ installation:
The YAZ module provides the MARC Z39.50 protocol support which this application requires.
YAZ is provided with most distributions of PHP, but activation varies. For Windows,
you simply activate the YAZ module within the php.ini file. For **NIX installations
you will probably have to recompile PHP with appropriate switches. Additional details
can be found at the PHP.net online documentation site. as well as at
http://www.IndexData.com (the PHP-YAZ author). Also there have been seveal threads on the matter at the OpneBiblio help forum.

After activating YAZ, be sure to stop and restart the Web Server (usually Apache).

Failure to activate YAZ, usually shows up as a blank screen after attempting a search.
To determine if YAZ has been properly activated, look at the phpinfo.php page
with your browser. Bring up the page and search for YAZ. If not found, is not active.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
