Ok... Thanks for the advice.  I recompiled perl for dynamic and things
are working well.

My suggestion: don't build a static version. There be dragons on that
path.

Tim.

I need to create a perl distribution that I can distribute via a Solaris
package.  I thought the best way to do this is create a static version.
Let me know if you think otherwise. (I am not a perl internals guru).
I recompiled perl as dynamic and trying it this way to see if it works.
Let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks!

Can you explain _why_ you think you need a static version of perl?

You're heading into a world of pain, so you'd better have a very good
reason to want to go that way.

Tim.

Installing DBI that works with static version of Perl

2009-07-07 Thread Koch, Gina (GE Infra, US)
I have compiled a static version of perl and attempting to install DBI
and DBD drivers also.  This is the error I receive...

Can't load module DBI, dynamic loading not available in this perl.
  (You may need to build a new perl executable which either supports
  dynamic loading or has the DBI module statically linked into it.)
 at /opt/GEOPS/GEOPSaudit/DBI-1.607-Worked/blib/lib/DBI.pm line 263
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at
/opt/GEOPS/GEOPSaudit/DBI-1.607-Worked/blib/lib/DBI.pm line 263

I'm at a loss.  I have tried to compile DBD with perl Makefile.PL
LINKTYPE=static and still having issues.
Any assistance you can provide is greatly appreciated!!!
