Hi,

I am facing problem installing DBI in cygwin. Please see the steps I followed:

1. I am running Cygwin dll version 1.5.12.1.My Cygwin Perl version is 5.8.6.
    I have downloaded and installed mysql server version 4.0.23 on my Win XP m/c.
    Started the server and tested it successfully.
    I have downloaded and installed mysql-4.0.23a source from mysql.com and tested
    it.

2. Downloaded DBI-1.47.tar.gz and unpacked it to C:\cygwin

3. Got into DBI-1.47 directory and did perl Makefile.PL. I get the following error.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can't locate loadable object for module DBI in @INC (@INC contains: lib /usr/lib/perl5/5.8/cygwin
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8/cygwin

/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8/cygwin /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8

Compilation failed in require at Makefile.PL line 41.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Makefile.PL line 41.
# Looks like your test died before it could output anything.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can someone help me with the DBI installation problem.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Sabari
