I ran make install and something seems to have improved. When I run the script
use strict;
use DBI; 

#probe DBI for available drivers
my @drivers = DBI->available_drivers();

##iterate through drivers and list the data source for each one
foreach my $driver (@drivers)
{
    print "Driver: $driver<br>";
    
    if ($driver ne "Proxy" && $driver ne "Multiplex") ##DBD:Proxy and 
+DBD::Multiplex have problem with datasources
    {
        my @datasources = DBI->data_sources($driver);
        foreach my $datasource (@datasources)
        {
            print "\tData Source is $datasource<br>";
        }
    }
    
    print "\n";
}

i get the following 
Driver: ExampleP
Data Source is dbi:ExampleP:dir=.
Driver: Proxy
Driver: mysql

However, I am a bit suspect as make test still returns errors (as in previous post) and I cant get a DBD-mysql (which used to work on a differen setup) script to run succesfully.

I want to try adding the lib path to the environmental variables but am a little uncertain as to how to do this. Could you point me in the right direction with regards to adding to env vars.

thankyou in advance
