Hi Jonathan
We have loaded Tiger onto several machines here.
My production machine still uses 10.39 and I am afraid to upgrade
because of the problems we are seeing trying to install the DBI and DBD
modules onto our upgraded tiger machines.
On my notebook at home, I upgraded to 10.4 over the weekend. I already
had DBI and DBD installed in perl on the 10.39 MacOSX. It ported well.
However, I tried doing the perl Makefile.pm, make and make test as a
user and have seen some errors I don't remember seeing when I run the
same on macOsX 10.39. In particular..
I see the following when executing make test against the DBI install
files (version 4.8)

Notice that the last line refs gcc 3.3; but the makefile refs CC to cc
which is a symlink to gcc-4.0.
I tried modifying the CC ref to gcc-3.3 in the makefile; but it made no
difference.
Are the errors I am seeing in the make test harmless??
When I do the make Makefile.pm, make and make test against DBD1.05_2 and
DBD1.07, my make test totally fails.
I believe if perl had DBi and DBD already installed before upgrading to
Tiger, they remain functional ( I have yet to test this; but I believe
it to be so). However, I can't upgrade them or install them on a
machine that doesn't have them after upgrading to Tiger. i am not sure
if the problems installing the DBD don't have something to do with the
install of DBI silently going bad.

perl -V indicates that perl was complied from gcc 3.3xxx. Is there a
problem trying to do an install of DBI using gcc 4.0??
The tiger Developer files come with both gcc 3.3 and gcc4.0. If I have
to use gcc-3.3, how do I execute the perl Makefile.pm, make and make
test against DBI to use gcc-3.3 instead of gcc-4.0
Both cc and gcc symlinks to gcc-4.0 in /usr/bin.
What sort of trouble? I don't have access to my 10.4.4 machine from the
office, but I have my own version of Perl and I don't think I rebuilt it
after installing Tiger - nor have I run into trouble with it. What I don't
recall is which version of gcc I used to build it; I have sometimes upgraded
GCC independently of Apple's code (though I'm currently using Xcode 2.2).
If you need to use gcc-3.3 instead, but Perl identifies its compiler (in
'perl -V' output) as 'gcc', then you'll have to rework thing so that gcc
maps to gcc-3.3 -- either by creating a symlink gcc in (for example)
$HOME/bin (assuming $HOME/bin appears before /usr/bin on your PATH) or by
replacing the symlink in /usr/bin at least temporarily.
