RE: DBI make fatal error: Command failed for target `Perl.o'



I've tried to recompile perl5 but it fails with a missing library
"-ldb". Where can I get this library?





Checking your choice of C compiler and flags for coherency...

I've tried to compile and run the following simple program:



#include <stdio.h>

int main() { printf("Ok\n"); return(0); }



I used the command:



/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc -o try -O -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/lib
-L/usr/ccs/lib -L/u01/SUNWspro/prod/lib/sparc -L/u01/SUNWspro/prod/lib
-L/lib -L/usr/local/lib try.c -lsocket -lnsl -ldb -ldl -lm -lc

./try



and I got the following output:



ld: fatal: library -ldb: not found

ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to try

I can't compile the test program.

(The supplied flags or libraries might be incorrect.)



You have a BIG problem. Shall I abort Configure [y]

Ok. Stopping Configure.

You will have to rebuild Perl.o for your Operating System
Please see applicable instructions on
../<re>configure
and
../<auto>make
for your Operating System

Hi,



I'm currently having issues with installing the DBI module on Solaris
10. The make command returns fatal error "make: Fatal error: Command
failed for target `Perl.o'".



Any suggestions?

*** Note:

The optional PlRPC-modules (RPC::PlServer etc) are not installed.

If you want to use the DBD::Proxy driver and DBI::ProxyServer

modules, then you'll need to install the RPC::PlServer,
RPC::PlClient,

Storable and Net::Daemon modules. The CPAN Bundle::DBI may help you.

You can install them any time after installing the DBI.

You do *not* need these modules for typical DBI usage.



Optional modules are available from any CPAN mirror, in particular

I see you're using perl 5.008004 on sun4-solaris-64int, okay.

Remember to actually *read* the README file!

Use 'make' to build the software (dmake or nmake on Windows).

Then 'make test' to execute self tests.

Then 'make install' to install the DBI and then delete this working

directory before unpacking and building any DBD::* drivers.
