Actually I thought of an even better answer to your question. You shouldn't have to build gcc, and you shouldn't have to build Perl. You can get both from the Sun Freeware site (http://www.sunfreeware.com/) and install them using pkgadd. You can use 'Perl -V' to determine which version of gcc you need, then install that gcc and use it to build the DBI library (and any DBDs you need).
Only on a very space or access limited machine would you have to resort to actually building gcc. -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.
