Re: Trying to build a new perl with DBI statically linked to it
Fix your perl. Reconfigure and rebuild it so it does support dynamic loading (Otherwise you're just heading into a whole world of pain and frustration.) Tim.

RE: Trying to build a new perl with DBI statically linked to it
Hmm, I would first try to check if perl itself does load DBI at all. i.e. a small script with only 'use DBI;' in it. I'm not too trusting of the install/check script there telling you perl can't load dynamic. For starters, I would think MakeMaker would tell you that when trying to install DBI/DBD dynamicly. Building 'staticly' means you really include the DBI/DBD modules INTO your perl binary. Makes for difficult upgrades and other troubles, you really should try to get dynamic to work, spend some time on it if nessecary. I never use CPAN-Shell (company network) but if you want to build something staticly you have to use a different 'make' command after having run 'perl Makefile.PL'. I think you can force CPAN-Shell to re-install a module, that would include testing which would be nice to confirm if perl itself works with DBI at least.

RE: Trying to build a new perl with DBI statically linked to it
Hi Frans, When I wrote and ran the simple script with only "use DBI" in it, I got the same error: 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 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/sun4-solaris/DBI.pm line 256 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/sun4-solaris/DBI.pm line 256.

You wrote: > if you want to build something staticly you have to use a different > 'make' command after having run 'perl Makefile.PL'. Do you know exactly what make command I need to use. I've given up on dynamic loading -- sorry! BTW, I'm using Solaris with MySQL. Thanks!

Hi Frans, I've done this using CPAN's automatic installation. Check this out: %> perl -MCPAN -e'install "DBD::mysql"' CPAN: Storable loaded ok Going to read /.cpan/Metadata Database was generated on Thu, 27 Feb 2003 16:40:43 GMT DBD::mysql is up to date. %>perl -MCPAN -e'install "DBI"' CPAN: Storable loaded ok Going to read /.cpan/Metadata Database was generated on Thu, 27 Feb 2003 16:40:43 GMT DBI is up to date.
