Thank you for this, just tried it, It all goes well up to this point:
Creating extra DBI::PurePerl test: t/zz_70shell_pp.t
Creating extra DBI::PurePerl test: t/zz_80proxy_pp.t
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Writing Makefile for DBI
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.
/usr/bin/perl -I/System/Library/Perl/darwin -I/System/Library/Perl
-MExtUtils::Command -e mkpath blib/lib/DBI
Then lots of error and a 'install seems impossible' message:
Perl.c: In function `XS_DBD__Perl__st_DESTROY':
Perl.c:626: warning: unused variable `Perl___notused'
Perl.c: In function `boot_DBD__Perl':
Perl.c:675: warning: unused variable `Perl___notused'
make: *** [Perl.o] Error 1
/usr/bin/make -- NOT OK
Running make test
Can't test without successful make
Running make install
make had returned bad status, install seems impossible
If you have any ideas please let me know - perhaps I should reinstall the
whole OS?, or just the perl part?
ANY ideas most welcome and thank you very much.
