Hi, Aravinda, having read your patch for DBD::mysql, I must admit that I do not like them. They all seem to have the elimination of Perl's automatic module build system in mind. For example: ***- Rather than trust Perl that it knows the location and name of libperl.a, you explicitly specify a name. ***- Rather than choosing the compiler that was used to compile Perl, you explicitly fix a name. ***... I am by no means convinced, that all your changes are required. In particular, I am not convinced that you followed the standard procedure, which is ***- compile Perl and MySQL, DBI, and DBD::mysql with the same compiler ***- do it on the same machine Please give some explanations, why you think all these changes are required. You wrote you are using Netware/Linux. Why are the differences that big, if it is indeed Linux? Jochen Hi Jochen, I am building the perl modules for NetWare. But I am using Linux as the developement Environment(since netware doesn't have any development environment of its own, I am cross compiling the modules). I can compile the perl for NetWare on gcc. But I cannot use it further to build other extensions. It is because the generated executable is in .nlm format and is cannot be executed on Linux. Hence for all the config, libraries and the include paths I am using specific environment variables. Let me know if you need any more details. Thanks, Aravinda
