Dave, The bundled Perl is compiled with Sun's cc compiler. You will need to use that to compile and DBI / DBD modules.
The recommended action (mentioned elsewhere in this mailing list and on www.sunfreeware.com) is to install the Perl 5.6.1 package from sunfreeware (which uses gcc 2.95.x _and_ tells you what options were used) into /usr/local/bin (bundled Perl is in /usr/bin), make that the main Perl and start DBI / DBD installation all over again :-)) HTH -- MarkT Dave Nonno wrote: > On a Solaris 8 system using GNUcc version 2.95.2 and the pre-bundled > Perl version 5.005_03, I recieve the follwing error while compiling: > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > # perl Makefile.PL > *** 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.
