Hallo everbody:
I still hanging at my problem with the DBI-driver for Adabas.

The installation of perl:dbi worked fine, but than I tryed to install the
ODBC-Driver.

I called the perl Makefile.PL and get:

Useless use of private variable in void context at Makefile.PL line 430.

Configuring DBD::ODBC ...

>>> Remember to actually *READ* the README file!
        And re-read it if you have any problems.

Multiple copies of Driver.xst found in:
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.3/PA-RISC2.0/auto/DBI
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3/PA-RISC2.0/auto/DBI at Makefile.PL line

Umm, this looks like a iodbc type of driver manager.

We expect to find the isql.h, isqlext.h and iodbc.h files (which were
supplied with iODBC) in $ODBCHOME/include directory alongside
the /REFDB_HOME/referenz/adabas_d/lib/libiodbc.sl library.

Writing Makefile for DBD::ODBC

The DBD::ODBC tests will use these values for the database connection:
    DBI_DSN=dbi:ODBC:refdb e.g. dbi:ODBC:demo
    DBI_USER=#######
    DBI_PASS=########

And thats it. For me it seems that there is something wrong with the
include-dirs. And LD_LIBRARY_PATH? Is'nt it obsolete?

Because after that I called make and this breaks after some parser errors:

make
        /usr/local/bin/gcc -c -I/REFDB_HOME/referenz/adabas_d/include -I.
-I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.3/PA-RISC2.0/auto/DBI -D_HPUX_SOURCE

"-I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.3/PA-RISC2.0/CORE"
-I/REFDB_HOME/referenz/adabas_d/include ODBC.c

                 from ODBC.h:9,
                 from ODBC.xs:1:
/REFDB_HOME/referenz/adabas_d/include/isql.h:10: error: parse error before
'*' token
/REFDB_HOME/referenz/adabas_d/include/isql.h:10: warning: data definition has
no type or storage class
....
....
.... many many lines and then error-code 1

What can I do ?
