RE: DBI install problem

You are correct - if you want to use gcc. If you have the Sun C compiler, use that compiler.

Subject: DBI install problem


I am having a problem installing DBI giving me this error:

It seems like I need to compile my own perl instead of using the pre-packaged SUN perl. However, I had once read there was a work around by editing the MakeFile file but I dont recall what to edit. Does any one know how to get past this? Any suggestions other thant re-compiling Perl.

I am using gcc version 3.2 and perl, v5.6.1 built for sun4-solaris-64int.

Thanks
