gcc is a C compiler - you need it to compile the C code in DBI.

You need to install the gcc package. As your using debian it is probably 
something like

sudo apt-get install gcc

I installed DBI on a raspberry Pi ages ago. See bottom of 
http://www.martin-evans.me.uk/node/142 and 
http://www.martin-evans.me.uk/node/144

I had some problems running out of memory  (from the above post):

BTW, I tried to install Perl DBI (which does not have many dependencies) with 
cpanp and after 13 minutes it died with the signal 'Killed' - hmm. I've not 
investigated further yet - but I had plenty of disk space left on a 4gb card.
*UPDATE:* It appears I had some problems with my sd card - switched to another 
one and the machine seems faster but cpanp still bombs out as before - trying 
cpanminus.
*UPDATE2:* ilmari suggested cpanp might be a big memory user so I installed 
cpanm and managed to install DBI - although the test suite took over 60 minutes 
to run.

Doesn't cpanm have a verbose mode.
