Hey All!!, As stated I'm a newbie to ALL of this. I am no dummy but I have no experience in Linux/Unix beyond compiling Hello Word in C and in Java on Unix machines. Can you point me to "Linux/Unix for beginners" info on the net? I work for a university so thus I am poor and would prefer online

No, Perl doesn't *need* the berkeley DB package. Berk-DB is an optional dependency; if have Berk-db, then make-perl will build the DB_File module. If you do not have Berk-DB, then perl will just build everything else, and NOT the DB_File module. No problems. Better, you can always go back late

Perl/DB Request for suggestions...

2000-12-23 Thread Stephen C. Biggs
Perl 5.6.0 seems to need the Berkeley DB package, albeit version 1 seems to suffice... but the Berkeley DB package needs Perl... thus a circular dependency: build the DB version 1 package, install; build Perl, install; then build the DB 3 package using the just installed Perl, install the DB3

Setup is the one program that has a direct link off the cygwin home page. I don't think we really need to package it up too. If you ran an installed version, you wouldn't be able to install any updates because of Windows (this bites me every time I upgrade bash, because I run setup from a bash
