Harold A. Jackson [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] quoth:
*>The problem here is very simple: you don't have a c complier loaded on your system.
The Sun c compiler is an extra that you will have to purchase separately. To get a c
compiler that will work, go to the Sun freeware site and download the gcc compiler for
your version of Solaris. After you have installed it (read directions) set your
environment to point to the gcc compiler and you'll be in business.
I'll guess that since he mentioned Oracle8i which shipped with Solaris 8
as well as a cd of OpenSource packages such as Apace and Perl, that up
until this time there has been no need for a compiler. Solaris 8 has a
Perl but unless you install the FORTE compilers, it will default to trying
to use 'cc' for all of it's XS needs so just installing the compiler will
not do in this situation and he'll need to tell perl to use gcc every
time.
http://www.sunfreeware.com/ - get the gcc and Perl packages and start
again and you shouldn't have any problem installing DBI.
