I am trying to install DBD::Sybase (both version 1.07 and 1.08) for Perl v5.8.8 on a Windows XP OS. I am running the makefile.PL then NMAKE to do the installation. I have installed the Visual C++ express and the SDK that I downloaded from Microsoft. The installation appears to go well except for a list of warnings, but nothing fatal. The first time I try to use DBD::Sybase in a Perl script I get the following Windows error: "This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix the problem" When I search for this dll, I find 2 versions of it. A 612k version and a 480k version. I copied each of these into a path that is loaded and I get the following error messages respectively: 612k An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly. Please contact the application's support team for more information 480k The procedure entry point _except_handler4_common could not be located in the dynamic link library MSVCR80.dll Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong? Any help is appreciated. Thanks
