Well, first of all, install an RPM or other type of package if you can. If you can't, run this command: perl Makefile.PL It will show you if anything is missing, e.g.: Warning: prerequisite DBD::Pg 2.0 not found. Use your packaging system to install dependencies if you can (usually called perl-Something, in this case perl-DBD-Pg), or else use the CPAN client: cpan DBD::Pg > > • apt-get install postgresql-plperl-9.0 : This got me the error > message ... > "postgresql-plperl-9.0 : Depends: libperl5.10 (>= 5.10.1) but it is not > installable" > ... trying to deal with that with : apt-get install libperl5.10 got me this > ... > "No candidate version found for libperl5.10" Sounds like your distribution's PostgreSQL 9.0 package is horked. > I got lucky guessing that apt-get install postgresql-plperl-9.1 would be > the solution. > Please tell me -- ¿¿ can I safely use postgresql-plperl-9.1 ?? Yes, PostgreSQL 9.1 has been released and stable for several months. > Also, shouldn't postgresql-plperl be in the requirements list above? We probably ought to mention that the PostgreSQL build requires PL/Perl. > Please accept that my criticisms are intended to be constructive. Appreciated!
