Some history first : My comments will be indented. I was having
trouble compiling the DBI/DBD modules into perl so at Sun
support's request I downloaded the latest version from sunfreeware.com, the 5.6.1
version. I also downloaded the gcc
compiler out there too version 2.95.3 and did a pkgadd onto the target server.
root@etest[SunOS]+/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/DBI-1.21# perl Makefile.PL
*** Note:
The optional PlRPC-modules (RPC::PlServer etc) are not installed.
If you want to use the DBD::Proxy driver and DBI::ProxyServer
modules, then you'll need to install the RPC::PlServer, RPC::PlClient,
Storable and Net::Daemon modules. The CPAN Bundle::DBI may help you.
You can install them any time after installing the DBI.
You do *not* need these modules for typical DBI usage.
Optional modules are available from any CPAN mirror, in particular
http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/by-module
http://www.perl.org/CPAN/modules/by-module
ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/CPAN/modules/by-module
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.

The software /usr/ucb/cc is installed on this server and is executable by
everyone :

-r-xr-xr-x 1 root bin 3487 Jan 5 2000 /usr/ucb/cc
I have installed the latest gcc compiler. Can I point to that? The website said
that perl was compiled in the following way :
sh Configure -Dcc=gcc -de
make
make test
make install
That is why I downloaded the gcc compiler as well.

I'm sure my problems are stemming from the fact that I don't have the right
libraries in my @INC array. How do I
change these values to point to the 5.6.1 version?
Thanks,
