I downloaded and unpacked the file from your link for DBD-Pg-3.10.3 and followed the instructions in the README file. The "perl Makefile.PL" command was successfull. The make command failed with the following output C:\Users\barry\Downloads\DBD-Pg-3.10.3>perl Makefile.PL Configuring DBD::Pg 3.10.3 PostgreSQL version: 120001 (default port: 5432) POSTGRES_HOME: (not set) POSTGRES_INCLUDE: C:/PROGRA~1/POSTGR~1/12/include POSTGRES_LIB: C:/PROGRA~1/POSTGR~1/12/lib OS: MSWin32 Checking if your kit is complete...

You probably need to run 'nmake' instead of 'make'. And you shouldn't need to modify the generated Makefile. Run `perl -V:make` to find out what flavour of make you need to execute. Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l]

I'm not familiar with the details of makefiles, but in your original example you were using `nmake`, while in this version you are using `make`. Are these the same? I've also seen the issue with paths like `C:\Perl64\libConfig.pm` before, but forget the specifics. It was something to do with running gmake/dmake via the cmd window, possibly with msys folders in %PATH%.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

C:\Perl64\libConfig.pm missing a slash after 'lib' ? The way forward always starts with a minimal test.	[reply]

I looked at the Makefile and I made what I thought should correct the issue. I then reran make and received the following error: `C:\Users\barry\Downloads\DBD-Pg-3.10.3>make process_begin: CreateProcess((null), rem, ...) failed. make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified. make: *** [blibdirs] Error 2` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
