It appears that there's something missing somewhere. I wonder if /usr/local/include has a header in it that is confusing thing? You said you built your Perl? So, have you installed any other modules that use C code? For example, Digest::MD5 or ... many others. If not, try to do so; I would expect them to fail too, pointing to a defect somewhere in the installation of Perl. If those work but DBI still fails, then it isn't clear what the issue is. You're on Solaris in some shape or form - please always include version information - and I've not had problems there with Perl versions dating back to 5.004 (probably 5.003 even), or DBI versions dating way back to 0.6x or earlier (let's see - shall we say 1996). So, on average, I'd expect the problem to be with your Perl. Failing that, with your Sun C compiler - though I've used the 6.2 version without problems... -- Jonathan Leffler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> #include <disclaimer.h> Guardian of DBD::Informix - v2005.02 - http://dbi.perl.org "I don't suffer from insanity - I enjoy every minute of it."
