Hi guys, As mentioned, I tried to install DB_File.pm on the above system, running Perl 5.6, using

perl -e shell -MCPAN

and got the following error:

Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Writing Makefile for DB_File cp DB_File.pm blib/lib/DB_File.pm AutoSplitting blib/lib/DB_File.pm (blib/lib/auto/DB_File) cc -c -I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB/include -fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -O2 -DVERSION=\"1.810\" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.810\" -fpic -I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i686-linux/CORE -D_NOT_CORE -DmDB_Prefix_t=size_t -DmDB_Hash_t=u_int32_t version.c version.c:30:16: db.h: No such file or directory make: *** version.o Error 1 /usr/bin/make -- NOT OK Running make test Can't test without successful make Running make install make had returned bad status, install seems impossible

Evidently db.h is missing....

What's the best/cleanest solution?

Thx

Chris
