Hi all, I am having great difficulty in getting DBI installed on an AIX 4.3 box. Basically the Makefile.PL works great, Makefile works fine, but make test returns a load of "No such file or directory errors." from DynaLoader.PM. Details below - errors in the make test section Can anyone help me out with this? Many Thanks Paul /home/scottp/perl/DBI-1.15 465$ perl -v This is perl, version 5.005_03 built for aix Copyright 1987-1999, Larry Wall Perl may be copied only under the terms of either the Artistic License or the GNU General Public License, which may be found in the Perl 5.0 source kit.

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. /home/scottp/perl/DBI-1.15 459$ /home/scottp/perl/DBI-1.15 461$ make mkdir blib mkdir blib/lib cp lib/DBI/W32ODBC.pm blib/lib/DBI/W32ODBC.pm cp lib/DBD/ExampleP.pm blib/lib/DBD/ExampleP.pm cp lib/DBI/Shell.pm blib/lib/DBI/Shell.pm cp lib/DBI/FAQ.pm blib/lib/DBI/FAQ.pm cp lib/DBI/ProxyServer.pm blib/lib/DBI/ProxyServer.pm cp lib/Bundle/DBI.pm blib/lib/Bundle/DBI.pm cp lib/DBD/Proxy.pm blib/lib/DBD/Proxy.pm cp lib/DBD/Multiplex.pm blib/lib/DBD/Multiplex.pm cp DBIXS.h blib/arch/auto/DBI/DBIXS.h cp dbd_xsh.h blib/arch/auto/DBI/dbd_xsh.h cp dbi_sql.h blib/arch/auto/DBI/dbi_sql.h cp lib/DBD/NullP.pm blib/lib/DBD/NullP.pm cp lib/DBD/Sponge.pm blib/lib/DBD/Sponge.pm cp lib/DBI/Format.pm blib/lib/DBI/Format.pm cp Driver.xst blib/arch/auto/DBI/Driver.xst cp lib/DBI/DBD.pm blib/lib/DBI/DBD.pm cp lib/Win32/DBIODBC.pm blib/lib/Win32/DBIODBC.pm cp DBI.pm blib/lib/DBI.pm cp dbipport.h blib/arch/auto/DBI/dbipport.h cp lib/DBD/ADO.pm blib/lib/DBD/ADO.pm /usr/bin/perl "-I/usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.00503/aix" "-I/usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.00503" -e 'use ExtUtils::Mksymlists; Mksymlists("NAME" => "DBI", "DL_FUNCS" => { }, "FUNCLIST" => [], "DL_VARS" => []);' /usr/bin/perl -p -e "s/~DRIVER~/Perl/g" < blib/arch/auto/DBI/Driver.xst > Perl.xsi /usr/bin/perl -I/usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.00503/aix -I/usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.00503 /usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.00503/ExtUtils/xsubpp -typemap /usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.00503/ExtUtils/typemap Perl.xs >xstmp.c && mv xstmp.c Perl.c gcc -c -D_ALL_SOURCE -D_ANSI_C_SOURCE -D_POSIX_SOURCE -O -DVERSION=\"1.15\" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.15\" -I/usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.00503/aix/CORE -DDBI_NO_THREADS Perl.c /usr/bin/perl -I/usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.00503/aix -I/usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.00503 /usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.00503/ExtUtils/xsubpp -typemap /usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.00503/ExtUtils/typemap DBI.xs >xstmp.c && mv xstmp.c DBI.c gcc -c -D_ALL_SOURCE -D_ANSI_C_SOURCE -D_POSIX_SOURCE -O -DVERSION=\"1.15\" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.15\" -I/usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.00503/aix/CORE -DDBI_NO_THREADS DBI.c Running Mkbootstrap for DBI () chmod 644 DBI.bs LD_RUN_PATH="" ld -o blib/arch/auto/DBI/DBI.so -bhalt:4 -bM:SRE -bI:/usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.00503/aix/CORE/perl.exp -bE:DBI.exp -b noentry -lc DBI.o chmod 755 blib/arch/auto/DBI/DBI.so cp DBI.bs blib/arch/auto/DBI/DBI.bs chmod 644 blib/arch/auto/DBI/DBI.bs mkdir blib/lib/auto/DBI /usr/bin/perl -Iblib/arch -Iblib/lib -I/usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.00503/aix -I/usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.00503 dbiproxy.PL dbiproxy Extracted dbiproxy from dbiproxy.PL with variable substitutions. mkdir blib/script cp dbiproxy blib/script/dbiproxy /usr/bin/perl -I/usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.00503/aix -I/usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.00503 -MExtUtils::MakeMaker -e "MY->fixin(shift)" blib/script/dbiproxy /usr/bin/perl -Iblib/arch -Iblib/lib -I/usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.00503/aix -I/usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.00503 dbish.PL dbish Extracted dbish from dbish.PL with variable substitutions. cp dbish blib/script/dbish /usr/bin/perl -I/usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.00503/aix -I/usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.00503 -MExtUtils::MakeMaker -e "MY->fixin(shift)" blib/script/dbish Target "makemakerdflt" is up to date. /home/scottp/perl/DBI-1.15 462$ /home/scottp/perl/DBI-1.15 463$ make test PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl -Iblib/arch -Iblib/lib -I/usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.00503/aix -I/usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.00503 -e 'use Test::Harness qw(&runtests $verbose); $verbose=0; runtests @ARGV;' t/*.t t/basics............Can't load 'blib/arch/auto/DBI/DBI.so' for module DBI: dlopen: blib/arch/auto/DBI/DBI.so: A file or directory in the path name does not exist. at /usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.00503/aix/DynaLoader.pm line 169. at blib/lib/DBI.pm line 180 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at blib/lib/DBI.pm line 180.
