Hah. beat me to it. I was just reading about conary too. :)

Might want to save yourself some headaches and pick a Liux distro you
know better or is more well known like Fedora Core and install Zenoss
that way. I hate having to learn yet another linux distro though rPath
seems an awful lot like redhat/fedora from the bit of poking I have
done so far.

After reading more thoroughly on the rPath system, they use a system
they wrote called conary, their own update system to patch or add
modules to the system. You can update/configure this system by going to

https://<your ip address of the zenoss appliance>:8003

I think the username/passowrd is admin/password, if not it shopuld be
int he docs. Of course, I can't confirm since I changed the default
password when installing this system. :)

You should do any updates there before updating or installing perl-DBI.
There is a precompiled version that installs, so make is not needed.
Sort of smart this way since make is not installed, anyone getting
access cannot compile something on your system and install, say, a
rootkit.

Go to the VMWARE/ZENOSS console. Login as root (the default password is
null). Type

conary update perl-DBI

Once it reboots (it won't reboot unless you tell it to, from the
console, type "shutdown -r now"), the perl-DBI message goes away, it
does say that it cannot find a modem, a modem is not installed, but it
seems to get things much further along than when DBI was not there, and
since I do not have a modem installed presently, it would actually be a
correct message.

I'll post this on the rPath list so "maybe" they will add that package
to automtaically update when the system checks for things instead of it
being a manual affair.

I tried the cpan method, but one cannot install the DBI module because
make is missing.

The easiest way to install perl modules is with cpan.

I am not a perl dude, but here is what I know.

On your server, just run cpan. If this is the first time you have run
it, you will go through a set-up process. At some point, you will get
to a question that asks you to select a few CPAN mirrors. My
suggestion is to scroll through a few pages and select later entries
and mostly from .edu. I have had better luck that way. There is no
simple way to change the mirrors once you run through the script (but
you can google for changing the mirrors, it a text file change). The
the very next thing is to update cpan itself.

One you do all that, you can try something like "cpan install
Bundle::DBI" and it should go find the bundle and install it along
with all the dependencies.

You can also just do a "cpan update all" and it will update all your
packages.

You might want to reinstall or update perl, however, because I believe
DBI is part of the base package.

The other option is to down load the modules from cpan and compile
them, but I then you have to resolve all dependencies yourself.
