I'm on Perl 5.6.1 on Solaris 5.8 trying to install DBD::DB2. It's the latest version from CPAN (0.78).

I was successful in installing the latest version of DBI (1.46) (although I was forced into the somewhat puzzling detour of having to install Test::Simple and Test::Harness first).

When it came to DBD::DB2, I logged in as user db2inst1 (as recommended in the README) and ran "perl Makefile.PL" which ran fine. But when I ran "make" I got this:

$ make
