Hi, Thanks. If I got the return value of 1.21 for second command, does it mean that I have successfully installed the DBI?
What about checking for DBD? Please advise. Thanks a lot. regards, Chewlf -----Original Message----- From: Steve Piner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 9:54 AM To: Chew, Li-Fang Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: FW: Error Make Install for DBI The first command is supposed to return nothing - that means that a version of DBI is installed. I think Thomas meant perl -MDBI -e 'print $DBI::VERSION;' for the second command. That should print out the version of the DBI that perl is using. If you managed to correctly install the DBI, the number returned should be the version number that you installed.
