This question is off topic because it's not directly a DBI issue. However I've had experience going through such a merry-go-round on a Sun box, so I can sympathize.
What I've found works is - do most of the install procedure only through your local account, not root - carefully read the steps in the README - only do the 'make install' from root - cd into the directory that resulted from your 'tar xvf' command and work from there In other words, your key problem may have been trying to be fancy and running the configure command from a different directory. Just keep it simple and do the make in your untar directory. -Will -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday 19 May 2005 12:49 To: [email protected] Subject: gcc loading question I am trying to load gcc 3.3.2 in order to load and compile perl 5.8 and finally load DBI.
