hi,
it has been a number of years since i have made and installed the
dbi, and i'm at it again.
platform: solaris 9 on sparc, dbi 1.34, dbd informix 2003.03.0401,
gcc 2.95.3, perl 5.8.4.
problem is that with the stock perl, (which is 5.6.1), while with
some tweaking, i can get things to compile and test reasonably ok. but it
is explicit in the README that perl, dbi and dbd should all be compiled with
the same compiler. i've also read that there can be issues with replacing
the standard perl that comes with solaris.
things compile and run great when i start from scratch, but that
means replacing the existing perl that shipped with solaris.
my one thought was to simply install it under a different path, and
set my path to point to that when i want to use the dbi.
any other thoughts? i'm sure this has been encountered before..
thanks,
mickm
