That's a nuisance.  It usually means something is confused about which
headers are where - it could be GCC or Perl or something else.

Have you installed any other C-based modules since you created Perl with
gcc?


OK - you've got Perl 5.8.2 (5.8.8 has been out several years), and it was
built with GCC 2.95 (they've stopped maintaining the GCC 3.x line of
compilers).  And the Perl was built in 2003, on Solaris 2.6 (not Solaris 10,
which is where you are running it) - so you didn't build it yourself in
response to my suggestion.

I wonder which version of GCC you have.  I suspect you need to get a GCC
2.95 compiler for Solaris 2.6 - you probably have a more recent one.  Or,
you need to build Perl 5.8.8 with your current C compiler.  I'd do the
latter - it will be easier in the long run.  Especially for me.

The most reliable versions of Perl are those you build with the tools on
your machine.  The next most reliable ones are those for which you get the
matching tool set for the pre-build Perl you get.  The further your current
toolset is from the version used to build Perl, the more dramatic the
problems become.

  Hi Jonathan,



Iam getting the following error when I install DBI-1.50 module:

Looks good



    I see you're using perl 5.008002 on sun4-solaris-multi, okay.

    Remember to actually *read* the README file!

    Use  'make' to build the software (dmake or nmake on Windows).

    Then 'make test' to execute self tests.

    Then 'make install' to install the DBI and then delete this working

    directory before unpacking and building any DBD::* drivers.

Oh, and for whatever it is worth, a default build of GCC 4.2.0 needs about 2
GB disk space in the object directory, plus the space for the source code -
on Solaris 10 at any rate.  Also, there's a stunt you have to pull to get
the Korn shell used by configure/make, and the build fails if you don't get
that sorted.  I forget the details - I will look sometime for them since I
had to sort the same problem out for earlier GCC 4.x compilers too.
