Bingo, adding -lsecur32 to the libs directive in Makefile.PL fixes the problem.
Anyways, managed to get 2.8.7 compiled and up. Also, got the easy urls working, too. So, to install, choose one of: ppm install http://dbdpgppm.projects.postgresql.org/DBD-Pg-5.10.ppd ppm install http://dbdpgppm.projects.postgresql.org/DBD-Pg-5.10s.ppd ppm install http://dbdpgppm.projects.postgresql.org/DBD-Pg-5.8.ppd ppm install http://dbdpgppm.projects.postgresql.org/DBD-Pg-5.8s.ppd ppm install http://dbdpgppm.projects.postgresql.org/DBD-Pg-5.6.ppd ppm install http://dbdpgppm.projects.postgresql.org/DBD-Pg-5.6s.ppd Also, the following files may be needed: http://dbdpgppm.projects.postgresql.org/msvcr80.zip http://dbdpgppm.projects.postgresql.org/openssl.zip T.J.

If I can fix this long standing problem I've had I'm sure I can keep up with your two week release cycle Greg ;) Well you got further than I did. :) I actually tried a fresh Windows install of Perl and Postgres, but could not compile as the Postgres INCLUDE directory seemed to be missing. libpq.lib(fe-connect.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol [EMAIL PROTECTED] referenced in function _closePGconn Google seems to suggest this is due to a missing secur32.dll or not including Security.h. But I'm not a Windows programmer, so email to -hackers (probably not -bugs) is probably a good idea. - -- Greg Sabino Mullane [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 200807250924 http://biglumber.com/x/web?pk=2529DF6AB8F79407E94445B4BC9B906714964AC8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEAREDAAYFAkiJ1CwACgkQvJuQZxSWSsgvYQCfZPoSAWZ7Jp2Hq+aSF3KX+jxB /aEAn1XFhfZYnBxkFKag0McEUaSfwS7t =WlTc -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
