    Hello,

    As part of a general upgrade, I am trying to compile DBI-1.39 module. Here
    is what I have:

    Sparc Solaris 8 64-bit

    GCC: 3.3.2 64-bit
    root@sawww:dbi/DBI-1.39# gcc -v
    Reading specs from
    /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparcv9-sun-solaris2.8/3.3.2/specs
    Configured with: ../gcc-3.3.2/configure --disable-nls
    --host=sparcv9-sun-solaris2.8 --with-libiconv-prefix=/usr/local
    Thread model: posix
    gcc version 3.3.2

    Perl: 5.8.2 64-bit, with threads.

    ----------------------------------------------------------

    When I run `perl Makefile.PL' , the command is aborted with a suggestion
    to upgrade to "perl 5.8.2 or later" which is what I already have. I know
    this is because of the threads, but I need them, although not necessarily
    for DBI module.

    So following the instruction, I tried to use
    perl Makefile.PL -nothread

    ------------------------------------------------------------

    After this failed, I started with a freshly opened tarball, and decided to
    try and build threaded version of the module regardless, since I do run
    the recommended perl 5.8.2. In the Makefile.PL, I commented out lines 86
    and 89:
    86 # die "*** ABORTED.\n";
    89 # $::opt_thread = 0;

    Then I ran
    perl Makefile.PL
    make

    Compilation failed again:

    ------------------------------------------------------------------

    The error is the same whether or not thread support is requested.

    I also tried several previous versions of DBI - 1.38, 1.37, 1.35 - with
    the same result.

    So where do I go from here?

    Any help will be appreciated. Since I am not part of this mailing list,
    please do reply directly to me.

    Thanks,
