Do you compile your own copy of perl with the gcc you have? If not, that is the problem. In general never use the vendor provided perl... it is almost always obsolete, and you have to have the same compiler the vendor used to build extensions (like DBI and DBD modules).

The only compiler installed on it is gcc, but DBI refuses to use it. "perl Makefile.pl" creates a makefile written for cc, not gcc. I tried going into the makefile manually and replacing cc with gcc, but that didn't help. Then gcc would complain about some flags that it didn't recognize. >From this I conclude that this makefile simply will not work with gcc. So, how do I convince the DBI installation procedure to use gcc? I tried searching the archives of the mailing lists, but the machine they're hosted on seems to be unavailable. -- Christer Enfors TRtool database administrator
