Please post the output from a make. Might be that either the wrong ld is
called (instead of letting gcc handle that).
You DID actually install perl after building and testing it, right ?
As for the order:
1. Perl
2. DBI (preferably 1.30)
3. DBD (1.12)
To build DBI extact tar-file and run 'perl Makefile.PL;make test' that
should be enough to see if it works at all for you.
