Here are what I have been trying to install DBI module on my Solaris 8
box:

1) I'd tried using different perl version. i.e. 5.8.0, 5.8.3. (they
are all precompiled pkg from sunfreeware.com)

2) I'd tried different versions of gcc and make

3) install DBI like this: /usr/bin/perl -MCPAN -e 'install "DBI"'

4) downloaded the DBI bundle from cpan.org and compiled it like this:
perl Makefile.PL && make && make test && make install.

No matter what ways I tried, I am the installation would fail (see the
error mesg below)

Could someone give me some light on this? thanks in advance.....
