Re: DBI install

Hi,

if you don't have internet connection, the easy form is downloading
the module via cpan.

http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/T/TI/TIMB/DBI-1.605.tar.gz

later you have to decompress it with :

$ tar -xzvf DBI-1.605.tar.gz
# cd DBI...
# perl Makefile.PL
# make && make install

can do the work.

Regards.

Is is possible to get the DBI stuff pre-compiled?

Where can I get the CPAN shell?  I looked for it on the CPAN web site but I don't see

If I do find it, will it do any good without a C compiler?

RE: DBI Install

Chris,

Thank you very much for you help.

I ran your command $ perl -MDBI -e '1' and got no results so I guess that is a good 
thing.

I will be looking into getting a c compiler.  Any suggestions?

Maybe, but DBI is often available with Perl itself. Have you verified 
that you don't already have it? What happens if you run this:

 $ perl -MDBI -e '1'
 $

You should get no output, no errors, if it's installed. If you don't 
have it, you should get something like this:

 $ perl -MFictionalModule -e '1'
 Can't locate FictionalModule.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
 /System/Library/Perl/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level
 /System/Library/Perl/5.8.1
 /Library/Perl/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Library/Perl/5.8.1
 /Library/Perl /Network/Library/Perl/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level
 /Network/Library/Perl/5.8.1 /Network/Library/Perl .).
 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
 $

The paths will be different, but the error will be similar.

Again, it's frequently available with recent versions of Perl -- you 
mentioned 5.8.0, which really ought to have it by default. Try this:

 $ perl -MCPAN -e '1'

If that gives no errors, you've got it -- run it by doing a

 $ perl -MCPAN -e 'shell'

As noted before, you have to set it up the first time, but after that it 
should Just Work.


Note though that a lot of CPAN modules depend on a C compiler, and using 
the CPAN shell doesn't get you around that requirement. The CPAN shell 
just automates the process of finding, downloading, building, testing, 
and installing modules, but if you're missing the system tools needed to 
do any of those steps -- such as a C compiler -- then CPAN can't help.

GCC is probably a good bet if Sun doesn't make one of their own

for things like this.

As others have pointed out, you need a C compiler to install some modules.

However, I'm pretty sure you can't just "grab gcc" and start installing DBI.
You need to build modules with the same compiler that Perl was built with.
If you don't have that compiler, best be would be to a) get gcc, b) rebuild
Perl itself with gcc, c) then build DBI and other modules.

I may be wrong about this, so somebody correct me if I am.

You can build a second copy of Perl and point to that for your DBI scripts

That would be great.  Where can I find the instructions for that?
With the instructions for installing Perl itself.
Just follow the regular intructions for building Perl on your platform. 
The only wrinkle to be aware of that might not be spelled out in the 
standard instructions is that you need to specify an alternate install 
directory, such as /usr/local or /opt.

If you already have a copy of Perl at /usr/bin/perl, then your installed 
version will wipe it out. This can be appealing at first, but if you do 
this then system scripts that depend on the vendor's Perl being a 
particular version in /usr/bin/perl may break, and if the vendor sends 
out a new version of Perl with some future update then your copy will 
break.

By putting your copy elsewhere, you avoid such complications.
The easiest way here is to specify "./configure --prefix=/usr/local" 
when setting up your copy, but read over the documentation that comes 
with your new version of Perl, and look over the options available from 
a "./configure --help" to see if there's anything else you want.

Beyond that, just follow the shipped directions and, as always, let the 
list know if you hit any complications.

You could considere building your own perl and modules.
If for instance the primary perl of your system is /usr/bin/perl then
you could choose making an other one as /usr/local/bin/perl and force
your script using the later.

All of this assum that your are in alignment with your organization
policy.
Convincing sysadmin is not always possible :-)
