You need to build DBI with the same C compiler that was used to build the version of Perl that you are using. The Perl 5.6.1 that comes with Solaris 8 was built with the Sun Forte C compiler. You probably don't have the Sun compiler, or you wouldn't get the error you are getting. The Sun C compiler is not free like gcc.
In order to use gcc to build new modules, you need to have a Perl that was built with gcc. You can download the Perl source and build it using gcc. Install the new Perl into /usr/local. The Sun built version is in /usr -- don't remove it, because some Solaris utilities use that version. Then make sure that your PATH has /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin. Building from source is not difficult and doesn't take that long. The default 32-bit configuration should work well. Options USE_64_BIT_INT and USE_LARGE_FILES should not be a problem. I would not bother with USE_64_BIT_ALL unless you expect to use multi-gigabytes of storage within a single program. Building a USE_64_BIT_ALL version is complicated by needing to get 64-bit versions of all of the external C libraries in the right place. I have done it, but it is not easy, and that is another story.
