If you install the PPM binary from my site xmlproj.com, you don't need a compiler, since it's already compiled for you.
All you have to do is in command line... ppm install http://www.xmlproj.com/PPM/DBI-1_20.ppd Ilya -----Original Message----- From: Becka Louden To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 1/2/02 12:19 PM Subject: still installing DBI 1.20 on Win 2000 I guess I am having a real off-day, I can't seem to post to the group via WinVN, so I'm trying just email. Maybe you thought I'd given up, but believe it or not, I am still working on the same problem I was facing a month ago. Desperately trying to get DBI 1.20 installed on my Win 2000 system. Got around the firewall so I retrieved the files from Ilya's XMLPROJ location. Installed Visual C++ so I have the necessary DLLs. Makefile.pl seems to go OK. But when I try to run nmake, I get: C:\Perl\modules\DBI-1.20>nmake Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 6.00.8168.0 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1988-1998.

I admit I am in over my head and would be grateful for any leads anyone may have.. where do I look to figure this out? Thanks.
