You are using /usr/bin/perl on Solaris which was compiled with the Solaris C compiler. You do not have that compiler installed on your system (it no longer comes by default with solaris). Typically any modules that require compiling C code must use the same compiler that per was compiled with. Using any other compiler will produce unpredictable results. Therefore, you can pay Sun for the compiler, install it, and then build DBI. Or, you can get gcc, build and install perl (in /usr/local/bin), then build and install DBI using that perl (make sure /usr/local/bin is placed in your path before /usr/bin). dd -- David Dooling
