I think so but I cannot see them in the output you provided so I imagine forte C has some central defaults - I cannot guess what they are or what they do. > > > Any and all help greatly appreciated. > > > > *Thank You, * > > *Douglas E.

Firstly, the version of DBI you are using (1.53) is quite old now (02 Nov 2006) and you would be better getting 1.609 (08 Jun 2009). Secondly, most of those warnings can be safely ignored - although "String literal converted to char* in initialization" is a new one to me. The problem lines appear to be: "DBI.xs", line 205: Error: Cannot use void* to initialize char*. which is: static char *dbi_build_opt = "-nothread"; What is wrong with that? "DBI.c", line 3923: Error: Unexpected type name "SV" encountered. This is a generated file so we'd need to see what you generated. Try and find what default options your compiler is using and work out what they do. I'd look into this but I've not got Forte C 11 so I think you'll have to do some digging around yourself.
